#Lists
Github style with leading space-dash
- first UL item
- second UL item
and space-number
- first point
- second point
(In this example, leading and trailing spaces are shown with with dots: ⋅)
- First ordered list item
- Another item
- Unordered sub-list.
- Actual numbers don't matter, just that it's a number
- Ordered sub-list
- And another item.
After some intervening text we can do unordered lists again.
- Unordered list can use asterisks
- Or minuses
- Or pluses
There are two ways to create links.
I'm an inline-style link with title
I'm a relative reference to a repository file
You can use numbers for reference-style link definitions
Or leave it empty and use the link text itself.
URLs and URLs in angle brackets will automatically get turned into links. http://www.example.com or http://www.example.com and sometimes example.com (but not on Github, for example).
Some text to show that the reference links can follow later.
