The best way to indent is to place a [[Colon (punctuation)|colon]] (<ttkbd>:</ttkbd>) at the beginning of a line. The more colons you use, the furthermore indented the text will be:.

To create a list, useadd an [[Asterisk (punctuation)|asterisk]] (<ttkbd>*</ttkbd>) afterat the laststart colonof each point. This goes after any markup (<ttkbd>:</ttkbd>, <kbd>*</kbd>, or <kbd>#</kbd>) tothat was used in the preceding line. It will createadd a ''bullet point'' (•) forto thateach line., like this:

'''Indenting''' can help improve the layout of a discussion, making it much easier to read. You should always indent your reply one level deeper than the person you are replying to. The best way to indent is to place a [[Colon (punctuation)|colon]] (<tt>:</tt>) at the beginning of a line. The more colons you use, the further indented the text will be:

: <tt>This is aligned all the way to the left.</tt>
: <tt><nowiki>: </nowiki>This is indented slightly.</tt>

(The colons will not show up on the page itself, just while editing.)
 
 
 
To create a list, use an [[Asterisk (punctuation)|asterisk]] (<tt>*</tt>) after the last colon (<tt>:</tt>) to create a ''bullet point'' (•) for that line.
