# Enumeration lists

The publisher has various options for creating enumeration lists.

## Enumeration lists with Ol and Ul

Numbered and unnumbered lists can be created with `<Ul>` and `<Ol>`:

    <Layout xmlns="urn:speedata.de:2009/publisher/en"
        xmlns:sd="urn:speedata:2009/publisher/functions/en">

        <Record element="data">
            <PlaceObject>
                <Textblock>
                    <Ol>
                        <Li><Value>Lorem ipsum</Value></Li>
                        <Li><Value>dolor sit amet</Value></Li>
                        <Li><Value>consectetur adipisicing elit</Value></Li>
                        <Li><Value>sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.</Value></Li>
                    </Ol>
                </Textblock>
            </PlaceObject>
            <PlaceObject>
                <Textblock>
                    <Ul>
                        <Li><Value>Lorem ipsum</Value></Li>
                        <Li><Value>dolor sit amet</Value></Li>
                        <Li><Value>consectetur adipisicing elit</Value></Li>
                        <Li><Value>sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.</Value></Li>
                    </Ul>
                </Textblock>
            </PlaceObject>
        </Record>
    </Layout>

These enumeration lists cannot be nested within one another.

## Enumeration lists with textformat

You can set a left margin or a hanging indent for text formats. This allows you to output bulleted lists:

    <Layout xmlns="urn:speedata.de:2009/publisher/en"
      xmlns:sd="urn:speedata:2009/publisher/functions/en">

      <DefineTextformat name="li" indentation="6pt" rows="-1"/>
      <Record element="data">
        <PlaceObject>
          <Textblock textformat="li">
            <Paragraph><Value>• </Value><Value select="sd:dummytext()"></Value></Paragraph>
            <Paragraph><Value>• Two</Value></Paragraph>
            <Paragraph><Value>• Three</Value></Paragraph>
          </Textblock>
        </PlaceObject>
      </Record>

    </Layout>

## Enumeration lists with tables

    <Record element="data">
      <PlaceObject>
        <Table stretch="max">
          <Columns>
            <Column width="5mm"/>
            <Column width="5mm"/>
            <Column width="1*"/>
          </Columns>
          <Loop select="3" variable="i">
            <Tr valign="top">
              <Td>
                <Paragraph>
                  <Value select="$i"/><Value>. </Value>
                </Paragraph>
              </Td>
              <Td colspan="2">
                <Paragraph textformat="justified">
                  <Value select="sd:dummytext()"/>
                </Paragraph>
              </Td>
            </Tr>
            <Loop select="3">
              <Tr valign="top">
                <Td></Td>
                <Td><Paragraph><Value>•</Value></Paragraph></Td>
                <Td><Paragraph textformat="justified">
                      <Value select="sd:dummytext()"/>
                    </Paragraph>
                </Td>
              </Tr>
            </Loop>
          </Loop>
        </Table>
      </PlaceObject>
    </Record>

## Enumeration lists with labels in Paragraph

The command `<paragraph>` can display characters to the left of the paragraph:

    <Layout xmlns="urn:speedata.de:2009/publisher/en"
        xmlns:sd="urn:speedata:2009/publisher/functions/en">

        <Pageformat width="100mm" height="100mm" />

        <Record element="data">
            <PlaceObject>
                <Textblock>
                    <Paragraph label-left="•" label-left-distance="2mm" padding-left="4mm">
                        <Value>Lorem ipsum</Value>
                    </Paragraph>
                    <Paragraph label-left="•" label-left-distance="2mm" padding-left="4mm">
                        <Value>Lorem ipsum</Value>
                    </Paragraph>
                    <Paragraph label-left="•" label-left-distance="2mm" padding-left="4mm">
                        <Value>dolor sit amet</Value>
                    </Paragraph>
                    <Paragraph label-left="•" label-left-distance="2mm" padding-left="4mm">
                        <Value>consectetur adipisicing elit</Value>
                    </Paragraph>
                    <Paragraph label-left="•" label-left-distance="2mm" padding-left="4mm">
                        <Value>sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.</Value>
                    </Paragraph>
                </Textblock>
            </PlaceObject>
        </Record>

    </Layout>

This can also be used for bulleted lists. This has the advantage that paragraphs can also be wrapped in the `<output>` command.

## Enumeration lists with HTML formatting

Here you have the option of nesting and specially formatting lists:

    <Layout xmlns="urn:speedata.de:2009/publisher/en"
        xmlns:sd="urn:speedata:2009/publisher/functions/en">

        <Pageformat width="100mm" height="100mm" />

        <Record element="data">
            <PlaceObject>
                <Textblock>
                    <Paragraph>
                        <Value select="." />
                    </Paragraph>
                </Textblock>
            </PlaceObject>
        </Record>
    </Layout>

    <data>
       <ul>
          <li>Lorem ipsum</li>
          <li>dolor sit amet</li>
          <li>consectetur adipisicing elit</li>
          <li>
             <ol>
                <li>sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et
                   dolore magna aliqua.</li>
                <li>Lorem ipsum</li>
                <li>dolor sit amet</li>
             </ol>
          </li>
       </ul>
    </data>

The lists and their markers can be styled with CSS, for example `li::marker` for the color and character of the bullet. The details (indentation, supported properties, marker styling) are described in the section Lists in HTML.
