Multi-line bullet list in markdown

Tags:

html

markdown

Does markdown supports multi-line (line-break inside the item) bullet list? In HTML, I can put <br> inside it.

  • Item 1
    blah blah blah
  • Item 2
    blah blah blah

Thank you for your contribution. Two trailing spaces work in the Jupyter environment.

How do I add bullets in Github readme?

You can create bullet points in an unordered list in markdown format using an asterisk “*” at the beginning of the line. Links can be inserted anywhere in the readme.md. The structure is very similar to an image file, but without the exclamation mark at the beginning of the line.

Two spaces at the end of line are used to insert a line-break.

Example (replace the two dots with two spaces!):

* Item..  some indented text 

This will render as:

  • Item
    some indented text

A more markdown-friendly alternative (to accepted answer) is to add 2 trailing spaces to the first line.
