Lists - Autype

Unordered lists

Use - or * to create unordered list items:

- Item 1
- Item 2
- Item 3

* Item 1
* Item 2
* Item 3

Ordered lists

Use numbers followed by a period:

First item
Second item
Third item

The starting number is preserved. If you start with 3., the rendered list begins at 3.

Task lists

Use [x] for a completed task and [ ] for an open task after an unordered list marker:

- [x] Critical workloads classified
- [x] Backup power system assessed
- [ ] Full-load black-start test completed
- [ ] Supplier emergency chain contractually secured

The checkbox is stored as list-item state. It can be toggled in the rich-text editor and is exported as a checked or unchecked box in DOCX and PDF rather than as literal Markdown text. Uppercase [X] is accepted and normalized to [x] when serialized. Task state is also supported in numbered lists, for example 1. [ ] Verify the first deliverable. Numbering and its starting value are preserved across conversions.

Nested lists

Indent with 2 spaces to create nested lists:

- Parent Item 1
  - Child Item 1.1
  - Child Item 1.2
    - Grandchild 1.2.1
- Parent Item 2
  - Child Item 2.1

Ordered nested lists:

First parent
First child
Second child
Second parent
Another child

You can mix ordered and unordered lists at different nesting levels:

1. First item
   - Sub-bullet A
   - Sub-bullet B
2. Second item
   - Sub-bullet C

Inline formatting in lists

List items support all inline formatting:

- **Bold item**
- *Italic item*
- ~~Strikethrough item~~
- Item with **bold** and *italic* mixed
- Item with a [link](https://example.com)
- Item with `inline code`
- Item referencing @[smith2023, p. 42]

Lists do not support extended attributes. Styling is controlled by your document defaults.
