bullets or automatically-generated numbers.

<\list>

Where:
- bullet
(Default.) Displays a bullet before each item.
- plain
Does not put a bullet, number or letter in front of each item.
- order
Displays a number in front of each item. The numbers are
automatically generated and begin with the number one.
- continue
Requests that the numbering of items continue from the
previous list.
- loose
(Default.) Requests a vertical gap between the items.
- tight
Requests no extra vertical spacing between the items.
Each item must start on a new line preceded by either an asterisk (*)
or the <item> tag. The asterisk is the shorthand form of the
<item> tag. Spaces and tabs may appear on either side of the asterisk.
Items may continue over multiple lines. An item can consist of multiple
paragraphs, in which case an empty line must separate the paragraphs.
The nesting of lists is allowed, so a list can appear within a list.
The <\list> end tag is required.
