<list> List

Sequence of two or more items, which may or may not be ordered.

Usage/Remarks

  • The @list-type attribute specifies whether there should be a prefix preceding each item and determines the prefix type (such as bullet or number). A simple list takes no prefix character.
  • The @prefix-word attribute can be used to prepend a word such as “Step”, “Method”, or “Procedure” to a list item, in addition to, typically, a number (thus “Step 1.”).
  • If the Type of List names a bulleted style (“@list-type="bullet"”), the Styling Detail attribute may be used to name the preferred prefix character, for example, a “dash”, “hollow-bullet”, or “square”. If no Styling Detail is given, the processing system will choose the bullet character.
