Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the free online markdown list generator.
Paste one item per line and press Build list. Every line is turned into a Markdown item with
the marker you chose.
Indent a line by the number of spaces set in the step box and it becomes one level deeper
than the line above.
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.
The output is standard CommonMark, so it works on GitHub, GitLab, Obsidian and most static
site generators.
Yes. The generator is responsive and works on phones, tablets and desktop browsers.
