Lists

Using Text→Itemize you may start an unnumbered list. You may either select a particular tag like • (bullets), - (dashes) or → (arrows) to indicate entries in the list or the default tag. Lists may be nested inside other tags, like in the following list:

• First item.

• Now comes the sublist:

  • A subitem.
  • Another one.
• A final item.

The default tag is rendered in a different way depending on the level of nesting. At the outermost level, we used the • tag, at the second level ∘, and so on. When you are inside a list, notice that pressing return automatically starts a new item. If you need items which are several paragraphs long, then you may always use S-return in order to start a new paragraph.

Enumerate environments, which are started using Text→Enumerate, behave in a similar way as itemize, except that the items are numbered. Here follows an example of an enumeration which was started using Text→Enumerate→Roman:

1. A first item.
2. A second one.
3. And a last one.

The last type of lists are descriptive lists. They are started using Text→Description and allow you to describe a list of concepts:

Gnu

A hairy but gentle beast.

Gnat

Only lives in a zoo.
