▲'''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:
[[Image:Indenting_markup.png|thumb|link=|268px|right|An example of indented discussion.]]
To create a list, add an [[Asterisk (punctuation)|asterisk]] (<kbd>*</kbd>) at the start of each point. This goes after any markup (<kbd>:</kbd>, <kbd>*</kbd>, or <kbd>#</kbd>) that was used in the preceding line. It will add a ''bullet point'' (•) to each line, like this:
{{Help:Introduction to talk pages/Old layout page/table 2}}
: <tt>This is aligned all the way to the left.</tt>
}}
: <tt><nowiki>: </nowiki>This is indented slightly.</tt>
: <tt><nowiki>:: </nowiki>This is indented more.</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.
[[Image:Bullet_markup.png|thumb|253px|right|link=|An example of a bullet list in a discussion.]]
: <tt><nowiki>:* </nowiki>First list item</tt>
: <tt><nowiki>:* </nowiki>Second list item</tt>
: <tt><nowiki>::* </nowiki>Sub-list item under second</tt>
: <tt><nowiki>:* </nowiki>Third list item</tt>
