How to Make Nested Lists or Indented Bullet Points on Medium

Nested lists, also called indented bullet points, are critical to writing good technical content. Medium does not support nested lists but here is my hack.

First, make a list

In a new block type the * character then hit space.

• Item one
• Item two
• Item three

Second, make the “nested” item

Go to the end of the line for one of your existing bullets, then type shift+enter, then past this character –

• Item one
  – Nested item
• Item two
  – Nested item
• Item three
  – Nested item
• Item four
• Item five
  – Nested item
  – Nested item
• Item six

That’s it

There you go, that is all there is to it. It’s not ideal but it gets the job done. If you want to indent every further you are SOL.
