Frequently Asked Questions

Each level keeps its own counter, so a nested list restarts at one while the outer list carries on.
Choose the task type. Each item becomes an empty checkbox, and lines starting with x are marked as done.
Yes. Tick the blank line option and an empty line is placed between items, which suits loose Markdown lists.
No. The list is built in your browser and the text you paste never leaves your device.
