Step 8: Add a list

In this pull request, you'll learn about lists and emoji. You'll also list a few details in your resume.

Emoji

### Emoji Emoji are fun :sparkles:, and they can be silly :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:, but they can also be an important communication tool when working with remote teams ✅. Tone doesn't come across as clearly when reading text as it comes speaking face to face, and emojis can be helpful in conveying context and emotions. :heart: Emoji are best used as additive extras, not replacements for text. With images, descriptive text makes it clearer for screen readers, but screen readers aren't guaranteed to convey the intent of an emoji. Make sure your meaning is clear in text, so emoji will help instead of causing more confusion. Here are some examples of popular emojis in markdown. | What you see | What you type | | ---------- | ------------ | | :heart: | `:heart:` | | :+1: | `:+1:` | | :smile: | `:smile:` | | :sparkles: | `:sparkles:` | | :tada: | `:tada:` | For more information about available emoji, [see this handy cheat sheet](https://gist.github.com/rxaviers/7360908). In most text fields on GitHub, you can type `:` and then begin to type the name of an emoji. A fuzzy search will bring up the 5 best guesses and let you select one.

Ordered Lists

### Ordered Lists Ordered lists have numbers. You can nest ordered lists within a list item by indenting them. You can read more about [formatting and syntax](https://help.github.com/articles/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax/) in the _GitHub Help_. ``` 1. Item 1 2. Item 2 3. Item 3 1. Item 3a 2. Item 3b ``` 1. Item 1 2. Item 2 3. Item 3 1. Item 3a 2. Item 3b

Unordered Lists

### Unordered Lists To create an unordered list, use either the `-` or `*` character. As with ordered lists, you can nest a list by indenting two spaces. ``` * Item 1 * Item 2 * Item 2a * Item 2b ``` * Item 1 * Item 2 * Item 2a * Item 2b

Step 9: Use emphasis

Great job with those lists! Let's try something new. You can use bold and italic text in Markdown. There are a couple of ways to create emphasis.

*This text will be italic*
_This will also be italic_

**This text will be bold**
__This will also be bold__

_You **can** combine them_

:keyboard: Activity: Add some emphasis

1. Edit the file _includes/05-emphasis.md in this pull request.
2. Use the Preview tab and your :sparkles: new Markdown knowledge, add emphasis (like bold or italics) to your skills.
3. Enter a short and descriptive commit message.
4. Commit your changes.
