+ Sub-lists are made by indenting 2 spaces:
  - Marker character change forces new list start:
    * This is a new list with started with the character `*`
    * Ac tristique libero volutpat at
    + This is a new list with started with the character `+`
    + Facilisis in pretium nisl aliquet
    - This is a new list with started with the character `-`
    - Nulla volutpat aliquam velit
+ Very easy!
