An asterisk "*" at the start of each line indicates an item in a bullet list:

  • and another one

Create a numbered list by adding a hash sign "#" at the start of the line:

  1. First item
  2. Second item
  3. Third item

[edit] Code

To make clear text is meant as code or computer in/output use <pre> and </pre> tags to surround the text:

Alternatively, just prepend a space at the beginning of the line:

{| class="wikitable sortable" border=1
! col1 !! col2 !! col3
|-
| field1 || field2 || field3
|-
| ZZZ    || AAA    || MMM
|}

Produces:
