How to create a list with bigger font in markdown

Question

I'm using markdown in jupyter, so I create bullet lists the usual way :

- Item1

- Item2

which appears as :

• Item1
• Item2

Now say I want the font of the list to be bigger, e.g. like the one provided by heading 2 (##), is there a way to do it? What I tried

# - Item1

# - Item2

fails and appears simply as header text and not as a bigger list :

- Item1

- Item2

Answer 1

Make the hashtags come after the hyphen, like so - ## item1

• item1
