    # Examples

    # Good – dash style

    # Good dash marker

This file uses dash markers consistently.

- First item
- Second item
- Third item

Nested list:

- Outer item
  - Inner item
  - Another inner item
- Another outer item

    # Good – nested rotation

    # Good nested with rotation

Outer lists use dash, inner use asterisk.

- Outer item
  * Inner item
  * Another inner item
- Another outer item
  * More inner
    - Depth 2 cycles back to dash
      * Depth 3 cycles to asterisk

    # Bad – wrong marker

    # Bad asterisk with dash config

This list uses asterisks but dash is configured.

* First item
* Second item
* Third item

    # Bad – wrong nested marker

    # Bad nested with wrong inner marker

Outer uses dash (correct), inner should use asterisk but uses dash.

- Outer item
  - Inner item should be asterisk
  - Another inner item should be asterisk
- Another outer item
