Adding checklists, bullet lists, & numbered lists to an Event

The "Details..." section of an event can be used to create structured lists.

Checklist

Simply click to edit the "Details..." section of the event, type brackets like this [], hit the spacebar, and type a title. Hit Enter and you'll see a clickable checkbox appear next to your new sub-task. Repeat the process to add multiple sub-tasks.

Bullet List

Start by typing the asterisk symbol or a hyphen, a space, and a title. Upon hitting Enter, the asterisk will convert to a proper bullet point and the next line in the list will have one too.

Numbered List

Create a numbered list by clicking in the "Details..." section of the event, typing 1, a period, a space, and a title. Hit Enter and it'll kick into numbered list mode, creating a second line, starting with 2.
