Chapter 4: Creating Lists

Arranging text in the form of a list can be very reader-friendly. You can present several key points in a clear structure that is easy to survey. Commonly, three types of lists are used:

  • Bulleted lists, to emphasize several points standing out from the text
  • Enumerated lists, to present points in an order
  • Definition lists, to explain several points in a structured way

In this chapter, we shall learn how to create such lists. We will cover the following:
