Unordered lists start with a "*" character.
* This is a first point. * And, I forgot, there is something more to point out. |
There are ordered lists as well, and they start with a hash sign ("#"):
# First, check the number of this. # Second, don't forget the first. |
The hash signs will be automatically replaced by numbers.
Because PerlPoint works on base of paragraphs, any paragraph different to an ordered list point closes an ordered list. If you wish the list to be continued use a double hash sign in case of the single one in the point that reopens the list.
# Here the ordered list begins. ? $includeMore ## This is point 2 of the list that started before. Without the second "#" character this point would start a new list. # In subsequent points, the usual single hash sign works as expected again. |
List continuation works list level specific (see below for level details). A list cannot be continued in another chapter. Using ##
in the first point of a new list takes no special effect: the list will begin as usual (with number 1).
Definition lists are a third list variant. Each item starts with the described phrase enclosed by a pair of colons, followed by the definition text:
:first things: are usually described first, :others: later then. |
Definition items can be formatted as usual:
:A \I<formatted> item: is an item \I<formatted> by tags. |
All lists can be nested. A new level is introduced by a special paragraph called "list indention" which starts with a ">". A list level can be terminated by a "list indention stop" paragraph containing of a "<" character. (These startup characters symbolize "level shifts".)
* First level. * Still there. > * A list point of the 2nd level. < * Back on first level. |
You can decide to shift more than one level at once. The number of shifted levels is passed immediately after the directive character ("<" or ">", respectively):
* First level. >2 * A list point of the 3rd level. <2 * Back on first level. |
Level shifts are accepted between list items only.
