GitHub readme markdown to include bullet points inside of table -

i trying put bullet points inside of github text box readme.

i know how them separately. example create gray textbox can do:

```
item1
item2
```

to create bullet points can do:

* item1 * item2 

however if try , place bullet points inside of table, literal syntax bullet points shows up, rather bullet points. have tried escaping bullet point characters.

how bullet points inside of table?

the github flavored markdown spec plainly states:

block-level elements cannot inserted in table.

of course, lists block-level elements, , therefore cannot inserted in table.

generally way around such restrictions in markdown use raw html. however, raw html list html block, block-level element , not allowed in table. therefore, need use raw html entire table.
