Entering Items in a List You enter the text you want to include in a list under the BEGIN LIST
command. You must precede each entry with the ITEM command, which
you enter alone on the line above the text. For example:
\BEGIN LIST BULLET
\ITEM
Project Identification
\ITEM
Number of Hours This Week
\ITEM
Total Number of Hours to Date
Begins a bulleted list
Indicates an item in the list
The text of the item
You enter all list items in this same way, no matter which type of list you’re
creating. When printed, each item in a list is separated from the next by a
single line.
Ending the List All lists end with the END LIST command. You don’t need to indicate the
type of list in this command. Enter the END LIST command on the line
below the text of the last item. For example:
\BEGIN LIST BULLET
\ITEM
Project Identification
\ITEM
Number of Hours This Week
\ITEM
Total Number of Hours to Date
\END LIST
Nesting Lists Just as you can nest styling commands, you can also create nested lists,
which is one list inside of another. The lists can be of varying types and
lengths. When you have a nested list, you must include a BEGIN LIST and
an END LIST command for each individual list. To help you keep track of
nested lists, you might want to give each list a name, and include the name
in the END LIST command. All list entries follow a separate ITEM
command.
Figure 11-4 shows you an edit file containing a bulleted list with a nested
numeric list. Figure 11-5 presents the lists in their printed form.
