Here is a point.
 * Here is a responce below the previous point.

* Here is a point. ** Here is a responce below the previous point. *** Here is a responce to the above response! ** Here is a second responce to the original point.

Result:


 * Here is a point.
 * Here is a responce below the previous point.
 * Here is a responce to the above response!
 * Here is a second responce to the original point.

Numbered Text
To create a numbered list, simply use a number sign before your text. You can still indent replies, but it's a bit different as you'll see in the example below.

Example:

#: Here is a responce below the previous point. #:: Here is a responce to the above response! #: Here is a second responce to the original point.
 * 1) Here is a point, numbered one.
 * 1) Here is a second point, numbered two!

Result:


 * 1) Here is a point, numbered one.
 * Here is a responce below the previous point.
 * Here is a responce to the above response!
 * Here is a second responce to the original point.
 * 1) Here is a second point, numbered two!

As you can see, you need to use a number sign followed by colons to space the replies properly. Take a look at how experienced users do it for more examples.

Inappropriate usage or spacing can cause a numbered list to error. Keep an eye out for this.
