Description

List in which each item is marked with a bullet, dash, or other dingbat (or no mark at all). It consists of one or more ListItems. A ListItem in an ItemizedList contains paragraphs and other block-oriented elements, which may in turn contain other lists; an ItemizedList may be nested within other lists, too. It has common attributes and a Mark attribute. Your application might supply the mark to be used for an ItemizedList, but you can use a keyword as the value of this attribute to indicate the mark you desire to be used; there is no fixed list of these.

Attributes
