Instructions for creating bullet points

There are many ways to make bullet points in markdown, including:

<!-- Use an asterisk -->
* item 1
* item 2

<!-- Use a minus sign -->
- item 1
- item 2

<!-- Use a plus sign -->
+ item 1
+ item 2

The default for Typora is to use the minus sign.

If in the config.toml file these lines are added:

[blackfriday]
    # Make new lines in the input translate to line breaks in the output
    extensions = ["hardLineBreak"]

then groups of bullet points can been spaced out on the website with just an empty line in between:

#### Some Heading
- item 1
- item 2

#### Next Heading
- item 1
- item 2
