Attributes

compact

Causes the list to be formatted without a blank line between each list item. If you omit compact, a blank line appears between each item.

Description

:sl. identifies items that do not require a sequential listing. Items in a simple list are not indented and do not have bullets, hyphens, or dashes preceding them. Simple lists can be nested within other lists. When nested, a simple list is indented four spaces to the right of the left margin of the list that contains it. Each list requires an end-list tag.

The simple-list tag requires the list-item tag (:li.) to identify items in the list. You can use the list-part tag (:lp.) to include paragraphs in the list.

Conditions
