How do I format bulleted and numbered lists?

You can configure Vim to format bulleted and numbered lists using the ‘formatoptions’ option. For example, you can format the list of the following format: - this is a test. this is a test. this is a test. this is a test. this is a test. into this format: - this is a test. this is a test. this is a test. this is a test. this is a test. You can use the ‘n’ flag in the ‘formatoptions’ to align the text.

    :set fo+=n

With this option, when formatting text, Vim will recognize numbered lists. For this option to work, the ‘autoindent’ option also must be set.
