If you want to emphasize a word or string of text you can bold by using ** in between your text ** , if you want to italicize you will instead use * in between your text *
Lists are an important function that many would find beneficial for use.
- There are variances in the types of list one can employ: Unordered and Ordered
Unordered
Unordered asks for the start of your line with * and can indent as well.
Ordered
Ordered asks for the start of your line with 1.
