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 (:) at the beginning of a line. The more colons you use, the further indented the text will be.
| You type | You get |
|---|---|
This is aligned all the way to the left. : This is indented slightly. :: This is indented more. |
This is aligned all the way to the left.

To create a list, add an asterisk (*) at the start of each point. This goes after any markup (:, *, or #) that were used in the preceding line. It will add a bullet point (•) to each line, like this:
| You type | You get |
|---|---|
* First list item * Second list item ** Sub-list item under second * Third list item |
