## Examples

Use dashes (`-`) or asterisks (`*`) for bullet points.

- Bullet list item 1
- Bullet list item 2
- Bullet list item 3

1.  Numbered list item 1. Two spaces between the period and the first letter
    helps with alignment.

2.  Numbered list item 2. Let's put a note in it.


3.  Numbered list item 3 with a code block in it. You need the blank line before
    the code block happens.

    ```bash
    $ docker run hello-world
    ```

4.  Numbered list item 4 with a bullet list inside it and a numbered list
    inside that.

    - Sub-item 1
    - Sub-item 2

      1.  Sub-sub-item 1
      2.  Sub-sub-item-2 with a table inside it because we like to party!
          Indentation is super important.

          | Header 1 | Header 2 |
          | -------- | -------- |
          | Thing 1  | Thing 2  |
          | Thing 3  | Thing 4  |
