A simplelist
is a list of words or phrases. It
offers a convenient alternative to the other list elements for inline
content.
Ironically, the processing expectations of a
simplelist
are quite complex. The value of the
type
attribute determines if the
list is presented inline, or in a row- or column-major table. In the
table cases, the columns
attribute determines the number of columns in the table.
