Hi Milagro,

In Markdown format, you need to add 4 spaces to the beginning of each line of code. Otherwise, it will just be interpreted as HTML by the browser.

I edited your post so that the code displays properly. :)

I belive this is what you are looking for..

  <ul> 
    <li> I love
  <ol>
       <li>Vanilla </li>
       <li>Milk</li>
   </li>
  </ol>
 </ul>

It's really simple. You make a headlist which is the ul in this example and within the list you can make more lists!
