List

A list of items, with bullets or with numbers.

Writing a list

Insert a List block and type the first item. Enter starts the next item.

To continue with ordinary text after the list, click below it or insert a block from the left column.

Sub-lists

Press Tab in an item to indent it under the item above: it becomes a sub-list. Shift+Tab brings it back out.

The PDF nests it the same way, and changes the marker at each level as LaTeX does — the editor shows the same ones:

In a French document, every level of a bulleted list is marked with a dash (—), as French typography requires.

Bulleted or numbered

Select the list and choose Bulleted or Numbered in the right column. You can switch at any time; the items are kept.

The bullet and the numbering style are the document language's own: they are not configurable.

What an item can contain

Bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, formulas, footnotes, cross-references and citations — the same as a paragraph.

What it cannot do

• Four levels at most. LaTeX nests lists four deep. The editor lets you indent further, but the PDF prints the deeper items on the fourth level.
• One style per block. A sub-list is bulleted in a bulleted list and numbered in a numbered one: the two cannot be mixed inside one block.
• One paragraph per item. An item is a single run of text.
• No custom markers: no letters, no Roman numerals, no checkboxes, no starting number.
• No description lists (a term followed by its definition).
• A list cannot be converted from text. Turning a paragraph into a list, or a list into a paragraph, starts from an empty block.

A list can be placed inside a column and inside a theorem, a proof or any other statement.

What it prints

\begin{itemize}
  \item the integers under addition;
  \item the non-zero rationals under multiplication.
\end{itemize}
