Introducing Lists
=================

  Texinfo automatically indents the text in lists or tables, and numbers
an enumerated list.  This last feature is useful if you modify the
list, since you do not need to renumber it yourself.

  Numbered lists and tables begin with the appropriate @-command at the
beginning of a line, and end with the corresponding `@end' command on a
line by itself.  The table and itemized-list commands also require that
you write formatting information on the same line as the beginning
@-command.

  Begin an enumerated list, for example, with an `@enumerate' command
and end the list with an `@end enumerate' command.  Begin an itemized
list with an `@itemize' command, followed on the same line by a
formatting command such as `@bullet', and end the list with an `@end
itemize' command.

  Precede each element of a list with an `@item' or `@itemx' command.


Here is an itemized list of the different kinds of table and lists:

   * Itemized lists with and without bullets.

   * Enumerated lists, using numbers or letters.

   * Two-column tables with highlighting.


Here is an enumerated list with the same items:

  1. Itemized lists with and without bullets.

  2. Enumerated lists, using numbers or letters.

  3. Two-column tables with highlighting.


And here is a two-column table with the same items and their @-commands:

`@itemize'
     Itemized lists with and without bullets.

`@enumerate'
     Enumerated lists, using numbers or letters.

`@table'
`@ftable'
`@vtable'
     Two-column tables, optionally with indexing.
