<simplelist> (
Simple List)
Description
Description
This element holds a set of items that do
not need to be distinguished from each other using a symbol (see
<itemizedlist>), and do not need to be numbered (see
<orderedlist>):
<simplelist>
<listitem><para>item one</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>item two</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>item three</para></listitem>
</simplelist>
item one
item two
item three
Note that, although it is possible for a single item to contain more than one paragraph or other block-level structure, this is not advised in the case of simple lists. This is because it might not be possible to tell where one item ends and another begins.
An entire list be given an indentation level number from "1" to "9". All of the items will be indented by a length that is some multiple of pixels of this value. However, note that it is also possible to embed one list within another, and when this happens the inner list items should be automatically indented without needing to use this feature.
Parent Elements
