# Ordered lists

Ordered lists, also called numbered lists, help you prioritize items or create a list of steps.

### Example of ordered list

1. Item 1
   1. Nested item 1.1
      1. Nested item 1.1.1
   2. Nested item 1.2
2. Item 2
3. Item 3

{% hint style="info" %}
To create nested items, you can use **Tab** to indent and **⇧ + Tab** to outdent.
{% endhint %}

### Representation in Markdown

```markdown
1. Item 1
   1. Nested item 1.1
      1. Nested item 1.1.1
   2. Nested item 1.2
2. Item 2
3. Item 3
```

### Adding an inline image to an ordered list

Adding images inside of ordered lists is possible in GitBook

If you want to add an image within an ordered list, add it using the insert menu, then on the row below the image type `3.` then hit `Space`, and the ordered list will continue.

1. Item 1
2. Item 2
