rascal-1.0-SNAPSHOT

Synopsis

A (possible nested) list of bullet points.

Syntax

Here ␠ is used to mark a space character:

• * MarkedText
• ␠␠␠* MarkedText
• ␠␠␠␠␠␠* MarkedText

Bullet lists create, possibly nested, lists of points. The number of * characters determines the nesting level of a (sub)list.

A list item ends with:

• the start of a new list item.
• an empty line.

* First item.
* Second item.

   * First subitem.
   * Second subitem.
* Second item.

Pitfalls

• An empty line is required after Bullet Lists.
