@itemize
: Making an Itemized List
The @itemize
command produces sequences of indented
paragraphs, with a bullet or other mark inside the left margin
at the beginning of each paragraph for which such a mark is desired.
Begin an itemized list by writing @itemize
at the beginning of
a line. Follow the command, on the same line, with a character or a
Texinfo command that generates a mark. Usually, you will write
@bullet
after @itemize
, but you can use
@minus
, or any command or character that results in a single
character in the Info file. If you don't want any mark at all, use
@w
. (When you write the mark command such as
@bullet
after an @itemize
command, you may omit the
`{}'.) If you don't specify a mark command, the default is
@bullet
.
Write the text of the indented paragraphs themselves after the
@itemize
, up to another line that says @end
itemize
.
Before each paragraph for which a mark in the margin is desired, write a
line that says just @item
. It is ok to have text following the
@item
.
Usually, you should put a blank line before an @item
. This
puts a blank line in the Info file. (TeX inserts the proper
interline whitespace in either case.) Except when the entries are
very brief, these blank lines make the list look better.
Here is an example of the use of @itemize
, followed by the
output it produces. @bullet
produces an `*' in Info and a
round dot in TeX.
@itemize @bullet @item Some text for foo. @item Some text for bar. @end itemize
This produces:
- Some text for foo.
- Some text for bar.
Itemized lists may be embedded within other itemized lists. Here is a list marked with dashes embedded in a list marked with bullets:
@itemize @bullet @item First item. @itemize @minus @item Inner item. @item Second inner item. @end itemize @item Second outer item. @end itemize
This produces:
- First item.
- Inner item.
- Second inner item.
- Second outer item.
