Seems not.

Lists

• An unnumbered list begins with an asterisk.
• A list member

1. A numbered list, which starts with a tab and any digit, is automatically numbered. 0 It is also called an ordered list.

In MW use the hash symbol

1. A numbered list, which starts with a tab and any digit, is automatically numbered.
2. It is also called an ordered list.

• The various kinds of lists can be nested by using extra tabs.

1. Also this way:
   1. Nested
   2. Nested too
   3. Yet one more
   4. And another one
   5. This is not another one

• Also the other way round:

1. Item 1
2. Item 2
3. 3 metI

• And like this.
  • Nested item.
    • Even more nested item.
      • Even more nested item. Although it becomes hard to edit.
        • I've flown the coop!

another term 

and its buddy definition

This is a block quote. It looks like <TAB><SPACE>:<TAB>text. This is because it really is a term: definition block with the term being a <SPACE>.

<TAB><SPACE>:<TAB>text also seems to be the best format for poems (copy-and-paste from GreatPoemsList):

William Shakespeare, The Tempest act IV scene 1.

Indented Paragraphs

If you indent your paragraph, it will be monospaced and won't line-wrap. This is a very common mistake, but trying to rectify it by inserting new lines into the paragraph doesn't work.

Example:

Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits and
Are melted into air, into thin air:
And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,

The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Ye all which it inherit, shall dissolve
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sheep.
