# Lists and Tables

Present structured information using lists or tables.

## Lists

Markdown supports both _ordered_ and _unordered_ lists, as well as nested list structures.

### Ordered List

Start each item with a number followed by a period to create an ordered list.

```md
1. First item
2. Second item
3. Third item
4. Fourth item
```

1. First item
2. Second item
3. Third item
4. Fourth item

### Unordered List

Use dashes (`-`), asterisks (`*`), or plus signs (`+`) before each item for unordered lists.

```md
- First item
- Second item
- Third item
- Fourth item
```

- First item
- Second item
- Third item
- Fourth item

### Nested List

Indent items under another to create nested lists.

```md
- First item
- Second item
  - Additional item
  - Additional item
- Third item
```

- First item
- Second item
  - Additional item
  - Additional item
- Third item

## Tables

Markdown tables use pipes (`|`) to separate columns and hyphens (`---`) to define the header row. Place a pipe at the start and end of each row for better compatibility.
