When MTEXTDETECTSPACE is on, the text editor recognizes a space entered after a letter, number, or symbol and enters list entry mode. For example, entering "1. <space> Example" will create a numbered list as shown below.
To continue adding to the list, press Enter at the end of each entry.
To exit list entry, press Enter twice and the end of a line.
When MTEXTDETECTSPACE is off, you can still use the TAB key to begin creating a list.
