Blockquotes

Blockquotes can also be nested...

...or with spaces between arrows.

Lists

Unordered

  • Create a list by starting a line with +, -, or *
  • Sub-lists are made by indenting 2 spaces:
    • Marker character change forces new list start:
      • Ac tristique libero volutpat at
      • Facilisis in pretium nisl aliquet
      • Nulla volutpat aliquam velit
  • Very easy!

Ordered

  1. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet

  2. Consectetur adipiscing elit

  3. Integer molestie lorem at massa

  4. You can use sequential numbers...

  5. ...or keep all the numbers as 1.

Start numbering with offset:

  1. foo
  2. bar
