to create a bullet list:
Ctrl + Shift + L

For the number list or some ordered list you can just type the
label you want and press space then typing the context you
want. When you press the Enter it will automatically format the
lists for you.

You just need type 1 . (space) and type the context,

after press
the Enter 2. will appear automatically at
the beginning of the new line.

And we can do other lists in the same way.

Danjie
Is
Smart

room for an hour.
