+
+Notes about the CSV encoder:
 
 The CSV format has a number of inherent limitations not present in other formats

-* A CSV cannot support an array with a depth greater than three
-* Each row in a CSV must share a common set of headers with all other rows
+ * A CSV cannot support an array with a depth greater than three
+ * Each row in a CSV must share a common set of headers with all other rows
 
-For these reasons, the CSV format is not well-suited for encoding all data 
+For these reasons, the CSV format is not well-suited for encoding all data
 structures--only data with a specific structure. The provided CSV encoder
