To create a list, you will create one of two types of environments:

1. enumerate - Ordered List
2. itemize - Unordered List

After opening the environment, simply use the command \item and then write your first item on the list. Use a new \item for each addition to the list.

Enumerate (Ordered List)

An enumerate environment will create an "ordered" list (e.g. numbered). See below for an example of source code and the resulting output.

Itemize (Unordered List)

An itemize environment will create an "unordered" list (e.g. bulleted). See below for an example of source code and the resulting output. 

There is a third type of list environment, description. Use an optional argument to insert your main text for the item. This text will appear in boldface. Text outside the optional argument will appear following this item in standard font. An example use case for this type of list environment might be creating a list of vocabulary words and their definitions. See the code and output below for an example.

To create a nested list, simply create a new list environment inside of an existing list environment. This will create a subset list underneath the last item on the list. You can create nested lists using either enumerate or itemize environments. See below for examples of source code and resulting output. (Note: You do not need to indent the subset list in the source code. The nested list will automatically be made subset in the output. Doing so in the source code is simply to help with visual organization.)
