Medium Bullet Points, Numbered Lists, and Custom Lists
How to add bulleted, numbered, and custom lists to a Medium story
Creating Lists on Medium
Medium has two types of auto-formatting lists: bulleted lists and numbered lists.
Bulleted List— To begin a bulleted list, go to a new line, type in a dash (-) or asterisk (*), and press Space. Next, you start typing your first item. Once you hit Enter on your keyboard, the list will be reformatted for you automatically:
Numbered List — To begin a numbered list, go to a new line, type in 1. (numeral one, period), and press the space bar on your keyboard. The list will automatically add subsequent numbers when you hit Enter on the keyboard.
Custom Lists — While not a built in function in Medium's toolbar editor, creating your own custom list can be a great way to add originality or style to a list, or a way to organize content in greater detail.
