Creating Ordered and Unordered Lists

I have some unorganized text. I could select it all and put the items in a list.

Notice, I’ve selected multiple blocks. I’m going to change them to a list, and now they’re all inside the same block.

Once I’ve done that, I have a few different choices here in this top bar that I did not have before. For instance, the default is an unordered or bullet list. However, I could change that to a numbered or ordered list if I wanted to. And you’ll also notice, because we’re dealing with lists, we also can do indent and outdent for them as well as build hierarchy for those lists.
