Unordered lists are vertical arrangements of items, with each item in the list preceded by a special character, usually the lowercase "o" (called a bullet).
Use unordered lists when the order of the items is not important.
To create an unordered list, use the unordered-list tag (:ul.) to begin the list and :eul. to end it. Identify each item in the list with :li..
Input Example
:ul. :li.Information typed in Window A will be stored in the STORES.DAT file in whatever directory you designate. :li.Information typed in Window B will be stored in the SALES.DAT file in the current directory. :li.Information typed in Window C will be stored in the LOSSES.DAT file in the C:\FINANCE directory. :eul.
Formatted Output
Note: To change bullet or dash character, change the appropriate .NLS file coding of ULITEM IDX=' ', located in the \TOOLKIT\IPFC subdirectory.
A Compact Unordered List: Use the compact attribute to produce a list with no blank lines between the list items.
Input Example
:ul compact.:li.Information typed in Window A will be stored in the STORES.DAT file in whatever directory you designate. :li.Information typed in Window B will be stored in the SALES.DAT file in the current directory. :li.Information typed in Window C will be stored in the LOSSES.DAT file in the C:\FINANCE directory. :eul.
Formatted Output
Nested Unordered Lists: The following example contains two nested, unordered lists. Notice that a bullet (lowercase "o") precedes items in the first-level list and that a dash (-) precedes items in the second-level lists. The bullets and dashes alternate for each level of the list. That is, third-level list items would be preceded by bullets, fourth-level by dashes, and so on.
Input Example
:ul compact.:li.C:\REPORTS\SALES.89 :ul compact. :li.FIRST.QTR :li.SECOND.QTR :li.THIRD.QTR :li.FOURTH.QTR :eul. :li.C:\REPORTS\SALES.90 :ul compact. :li.FIRST.QTR :li.SECOND.QTR :li.THIRD.QTR :li.FOURTH.QTR :eul. :eul.

When nesting lists, make sure you end each list with an end-list tag.
