Lists

Capture lists in a list element. The type of list can be designated with a list-type attribute.

The allowed list-type attribute values are as follows:

list-type attribute	List item Character
simple
bullet	Bulleted List
number	1, 2, 3, 4
alpha-lower	a, b, c, d
alpha-upper	A, B, C, D
roman-lower	i, ii, iii, iv
roman-upper	I, II, III, IV

list elements are not permitted as children of p elements.

For Education content, use a list element with the attribute-value list-content="chronology" to convey chronological or sequential order. When capturing nested chronologies, place elements of the same chronological type under list or list-item elements at the same depth in the nested list structure.

Nested chronology
