Create sublists

You can change the level of a numbered or bulleted list item to create a nested list. For example, you might have a bulleted list where one of the bullets has a sublist of bullets.

The nested list does not have to be of the same type as the parent list. For instance, you can nest a bulleted list in a numbered list. You can have multiple nested lists in your list.
