How to Use LIST
Each item in a list has two parts the label and the body of the item. The
label is defined by the type of list; for example, the label can be a bullet, a
numeral, or one or more words. The label sits to the left of the body of the
item, which is indented from the left margin by the width of the label
(though you can change this label width). The body is generally descriptive
text, but you can set up the body of the item any way you want.
TFORM separates list items vertically by a gap (one line, by default, or
however many lines you define) and indents entire items (including labels)
on the left and/or right sides by the number of characters you define.
The LIST macro package has three commands
1. The BEGIN LIST command defines the beginning of a list. With an
optional keyword, you can specify the type of list you wish to build.
2. The END LIST command defines the end of a list.
3. The ITEM command designates both parts of each item in a list. It
designates the label (determined by the list type in the BEGIN LIST
command or specifically by an expression you enter after the
command) and the body of the item. You begin entering the body of an
item on the line below the ITEM command line.
