[ is a special character which is used to specify labeled list items. Note that [ is a special character only if it is the first character of an indented paragraph.
\ may be used to quote special characters. As usual, the character \ itself is specified by typing \\.
* is another special character which is used to specify ``ticked'' list items. The '*' tick character is generally replaced by a nicer tick symbol such as a bullet or a little square when the document is translated into a real typesetting system such as TeX.
Like [, * is a special character only if it is the first character of an indented paragraph.
Numbered lists:
Item #1.
Item #2.
Item #3.
