1. Hello
World
2. More stuff
In GitHub Markdown, the preceding content (where World and the line preceding it are indented with spaces) will render as:
-
Hello
World
-
More stuff
1. Hello
World
2. More stuff
Similarly, the indentation is necessary; without it, the list paragraph ends, the list ends, and a new regular paragraph ends, in which the "2. More stuff" is included in that paragraph.
- Hello
World 2. More stuff
1. Hello
World
2. More stuff
- Hello
World
- More stuff
