Lists

reST provides readable syntax for bullet lists, enumerated lists, and definition lists with auto-enumeration features. This is shown in the following code example:

Bullet list: 
 
- one 
- two 
- three 
 
 
Enumerated list: 
 
1. one 
2. two 
#. auto-enumerated 
 
Definition list: 
 
one 
    one is a number. 
 
two 
    two is also a number.

The output of the code is shown in the following screenshot:
