Pinnacles Component Information Standard (PCIS), Version 1.5-1-081099
Element:Unordered List
Tag:<unordered.list>
Definition:

A simple single-item list or a list of items, sometimes with a non-numeric or alphabetical special character prefix.

Remarks:

Each List Item (<li>) in an Unordered List (unordered.list) may be prefixed by a special character, such as a bullet, asterisk, or em-dash. In a simple list, where there is no special character prefix, the items are generally displayed or printed slightly indented.

The PCIS provides for three types of general lists:

  • Definition Lists (<def.list>s), in which each List Item (<li>) is in two parts; for example, a term and its definition.

  • Ordered (sequenced) Lists <ordered.list>s, in which the sequence of List Items (<li>s) is important and each List Item (<li>) is preceded by a counter such as a letter or number.

  • Unordered (simple) Lists <unordered.list>s, where each List Item (<li>) is either preceded by a special character such as an em-dash or a bullet, or is listed without prefix.

List models were adopted from IBM's IBMIDDOC DTDs.

The tag minimization parameter does not appear in the XML version of this element (because it is forbidden by XML).
