Simple lists are vertical arrangements of items without any symbol or character preceding the items in the list. Use simple lists when the order of the items is not important.
To create a simple list, use the simple-list tag (:sl.) to begin the list and its corresponding end tag, :esl.. Identify each item in the list with a list-item tag (:li.).

Fruit
