Lists without bullets points in Markdown

Question

I want to create a list in Markdown, but without bullet points. Is that possible?

The only recommended ways I found so far are using HTML, which I want to avoid.

Answer 1

This might sound obvious but... you could understand a list as "lines separated by line breaks" (when you think about the output, not the markup).

First item  (<-- two spaces)  
Second item  

This will render to:

First item
Second item

This looks like a list with no bullet points :)
A more beautiful example.
