Description
The listitem element is a wrapper around an
item in a list. In an itemizedlist or an
orderedlist, the listitem
surrounds the entire list item. In a variablelist,
listitem surrounds the “definition” part
of the list item.
Processing expectations
Formatted as a displayed block. List items usually generate the
appropriate mark (a number or bullet) and appear indented, next to the
mark. In a variablelist, the presentation may be
influenced by the length of the term or
terms that precede the list item and by attributes
on the list itself.
