 If for any reason you want to control each step of the building process (for example you do not have *virtualenv* but you
 are using *conda*), here is how:
 
-    - Create a virtual environment or use an existing one and activate it
-    - Install the list of requirements that are listed in the src/pip.freeze file
-    - Install wxPython
-    - Build the msspec shared librarires with the command "make pybinding"
-    - Install the msspec Python package with "pip install -e src/"
+- Create a virtual environment or use an existing one and activate it
+- Install the list of requirements that are listed in the src/pip.freeze file
+- Install wxPython
+- Build the msspec shared librarires with the command "make pybinding"
+- Install the msspec Python package with "pip install -e src/"
 
 The last step can be replaced by adding the src/ path to your PYTHONPATH, but bear in mind that the package will then
 be also visible to other virtual environments no matter they fit the msspec requirements.
