## Lists
Lists follow the official [Markdown syntax](https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/#lists-1).
### Ordered list
To create an ordered list, add numbers followed by a period before list items.
1. First item
2. Second item
3. Third item
4. Fourth item
```mdx
1. First item
2. Second item
3. Third item
4. Fourth item
```
### Unordered list
To create an unordered list, add dashes (`-`), asterisks (`*`), or plus signs (`+`) before list items.
- First item
- Second item
- Third item
- Fourth item
```mdx
- First item
- Second item
- Third item
- Fourth item
```
### Nested list
Indent list items to nest them.
- First item
- Second item
- Additional item
- Additional item
- Third item
```mdx
- First item
- Second item
- Additional item
- Additional item
- Third item
```
## Tables
Tables follow the official [Markdown syntax](https://www.markdownguide.org/extended-syntax/#tables).
To add a table, use three or more hyphens (`---`) to create each column's header, and use pipes (`|`) to separate each column. For compatibility, you should also add a pipe on either end of the row.
| Property | Description |

```mdx
| Property | Description |

### Column alignment
Use colons in the separator row to align column content:
| Left aligned | Center aligned | Right aligned |
| :----------- | :------------: | ------------: |
| Left | Center | Right |
| Text | Text | Text |
```mdx
| Left aligned | Center aligned | Right aligned |
| :----------- | :------------: | ------------: |
| Left | Center | Right |
| Text | Text | Text |
```
