Discord Markdown List Syntax Explained

If you're curious about how Discord lists work under the hood, here's a quick breakdown of the syntax our generator uses:

  • Bullet Lists: Start a line with "- " (hyphen + space)
  • Numbered Lists: Start a line with any number followed by ". " like "1. " or "5. "
  • Checklists: Use "- [ ] " for unchecked items or "- [x] " for checked items
  • Indentation: Add 2 spaces before a list item to nest it one level deeper

For example, this is what a nested bullet list looks like in raw markdown:

- Parent item - Nested item (2 spaces) - Another nested item - Double-nested item (4 spaces) - Another parent item
