 example.  Use ``+`` to enable the named behavior, or ``-`` to disable it.

 Without the directive it would fail, both because the actual output doesn't have
 two blanks before the single-digit list elements, and because the actual output
 is on a single line.  This test also passes, and also requires a directive to do
