One neat trick which you can use in Markdown to distinguish between different types of images is to add a #hash value to the end of the source URL, and then target images containing the hash with special styling. For example, to add a wider image, you need to add the #wide value to the end of the source URL.

Lists

Unordered Lists

The HTML <ul> element represents an unordered list of items, typically rendered as a bulleted list.

Usage notes:

The <ul> element is for grouping a collection of items that do not have a numerical ordering, and their order in the list is meaningless. Typically, unordered-list items are displayed with a bullet, which can be of several forms, like a dot, a circle or a squared.
There is no limitation to the depth and alternation of nested lists defined with the <ol> and <ul> elements.
The <ol> and <ul> elements both represent a list of items. They differ in that, with the <ol> element, the order is meaningful.
