SimpleList
Description
List of single words or short phrases. It consists of one or more Members, and has common, Columns, and Type attributes.
Processing Expectations
The value of the Type attribute may be Inline, Horiz, or Vert (the default), indicating that the list should be formatted as part of a regular paragraph, as an array reading L to R then top to bottom, or as an array reading top to bottom then L to R. The Columns attribute value must be a number, the number of columns the array should contain. Further details on rendering may be found in the comment in the DTD. If Column is set to 1, both Horiz and Vert should produce the same results.

Attributes
- Columns
Columns gives the number of columns in which the SimpleList should be rendered. There is no default.
- Type
Type indicates how the Members of the SimpleList should be formatted: Inline (Members separated by commas, etc., inline), Vert (top to bottom in the number of columns indicated by the Columns attribute), or Horiz (right to left or left to right, depending on current text flow) in the number of columns indicated by the Columns attribute). The default is Vert. If Column is 1 or #IMPLIED, Type=Vert and Type=Horiz give the same results.
