\chapterhead{lists}{LISTS}
{\it Plain} \tex\ supplies two commands for lists, |\item|, and |\itemitem|,
that create list items with indentations of one and two times the paragraph
indentation respectively. \intex\ supplies a complete set of commands for
three levels of lists. In addition, spacing of list items may be controlled
by either tightening or loosening the list item spacing. The basic set of
commands specify the beginning and end of a |list|, |sublist|, and
|subsublist|. All items in a list are introduced by |\listitem| or its
abbreviation |\li|.
The commands for making lists are given first and the list of the various
glues for spacing is given in Section \ref{listparms}.

\shead{maklist}{Making Lists}
Lists and their associated items can appear in either vertical or internal
vertical mode. They also work in multicolumn format and in conjunction with
|\narrowtext|. In \intex\ the type of list is specified and not the actual
list item. All list items, whether they appear in a list or a subsublist are
called the same way. As elsewhere in \intex, every |\begin..list| must have
an accompanying |\end..list|. Each |\begin..list ... \end..list| matching
pair form a {\it group}; thus it is possible to change the fonts or any other
parameter and that change affects only the present group and all of its
internal groups. This is an important benefit of designating lists instead of
list items. The main text of a list is indented a fixed amount and the list
item herald, if it exists, is placed one quad to the left of the main text.
\intex\ also supplies three token lists |\everylist|, |\everysublist|, and
|\everysubsublist|. These are token lists the contents of which are emptied
inside the list group every time the corresponding |\begin...list| is called.
These may be used for changing the list indentations, fonts, or individual
item skips. Anything done in an outer list is of course valid in the sub
lists. For instance if the list indent was required to be one inch and the
list spacing to be 1 then
\begintt
\everylist = {\listindentsize = 1in \spacing{1}}
\endtt
would do the job.
The list commands can be used as the basis of specialized lists such as
citation references.
Things to note about lists are
\beginlist
\li $\bullet$ There are three levels of lists, {\it lists},
{\it sublists}, and {\it subsublists}.
\beginsublist
\eightpoint
\li $\circ$ A list, sublist, subsublist starts a group.
The group localizes the effect of changes.
\li $\clubsuit$ List items are indicated in the same way at
all levels.
\li $\diamond$ Display mathematics is acceptable within lists.
This is an example.
$$
\oint_{\vert z\vert < 1} {e^{-kz} \over (1-z)} dz
$$
It can also have a second paragraph that is a part of this
item. This paragraph could even have a narrowed portion
\beginnarrowtext .5in
\tenpoint \it \noindent
Wise men lay up knowledge but the babbling
of a fool brings ruin near.
\bf Proverbs Ch.~10, Vs.~14
\endnarrowtext
\li $\bullet$ It is possible to tighten the list here
but it would not do much good as this is the last
subitem.
\endsublist
\li NOTE: The {\it Note:} herald is so large that it sticks {\bf into}
the actual list item. This can be seen on this line.
\li $\star$ This is a more normal size herald.
\endlist
\ejectpage
The previous list is actually produced by
\begintt
\beginlist
\li $\bullet$ There are three levels of lists, {\it lists},
{\it sublists}, and {\it subsublists}.
\beginsublist
\eightpoint
\li $\circ$ A list, sublist, subsublist starts a group.
The group localizes the effect of changes.
\li $\clubsuit$ List items are indicated in the same way at
all levels.
\li $\diamond$ Display mathematics is acceptable within lists.
This is an example.
$$
\oint_{\vert z\vert < 1} {e^{-kz} \over (1-z)} dz
$$
It can also have a second paragraph that is a part of this
item. This paragraph could even have a narrowed portion
\beginnarrowtext .5in
\tenpoint \it \noindent
Wise men lay up knowledge but the babbling
of a fool brings ruin near.
\bf Proverbs Ch.~10, Vs.~14
\endnarrowtext
\li $\bullet$ It is possible to tighten the list here
but it would not do much good as this is the last
subitem.
\endsublist
\li NOTE: The {\it Note:} herald is so large that it sticks
{\bf into} the actual list item. This can be seen
on this line.
\li $\star$ This is a more normal size herald.
\endlist
\endtt
The command |\samplemark{<list item mark>}| can be used to
create a list where the |\listitemmarksize| is one |\enspace| larger than the
sample mark and the |\listindent|, |\sublistindent|, and
|\subsublistindent|
{\bf inside} the same group are modified accordingly.
\shead{makcomforms}{Command Forms -- Making Lists}
\beginblockmode
\ext\@|\beginlist \bl|
\nbr
This begins a list, starts a group,
and should always have a matching |\endlist|.
|\bl| is an approved abbreviation of |\beginlist|.
\mbr\ext\@|\beginsublist \bsl|
\nbr
This begins a sublist, starts a group,
and should always have a matching |\endsublist|.
A sublist may exist without a surrounding list.
|\bsl| is an approved abbreviation of |\beginsublist|.
\mbr\ext\@|\beginsubsublist \bssl|
\nbr
This begins a subsublist, starts a group,
and should always have a matching |\endsubsublist|.
A subsublist may exist without a surrounding list or sublist.
|\bssl| is an approved abbreviation of |\beginsubsublist|.
\mbr\ext\@|\endlist \el|
\nbr
These commands terminate a list and its associated group.
|\el| is an approved abbreviation for |\endlist|
\mbr\ext\@|\endsublist \esl|
\nbr
These commands terminate a sublist and its associated group.
|\esl| is an approved abbreviation for |\endsublist|
\mbr\ext\@|\endsubsublist \essl|
\nbr
These commands terminate a subsublist and its associated group.
|\essl| is an approved abbreviation for |\endsubsublist|
\mbr
\ext\@|\everylist [=] {<token list>}|
\nbr
The |<token list>| is inserted in the front of the list by the |\beginlist|.
It is inserted soon enough to affect the list item parameters, and all
parameters of the sublists and subsublists but too late to affect the prelist
spacing.
\mbr
\ext\@|\everysublist [=] {<token list>}|
\nbr
The |<token list>| is inserted in the front of the sublist by the
|\beginsublist|.
It is inserted soon enough to affect the list item parameters, and all
parameters of the subsublists but too late to affect the presublist
spacing.
\mbr
\ext\@|\everysubsublist [=] {<token list>}|
\nbr
The |<token list>| is inserted before the subsublist by the
|\beginsubsublist|.
It is inserted soon enough to affect the list item parameters
but too late to affect the presubsublist
spacing.
\mbr\pla\@|\item|
\nbr
This is similar to |\listitem| but does not need to be surrounded by a list.
It always indents by the |\parindent|.
\mbr\pla\@|\itemitem|
\nbr
This is similar to |\listitem| but does not need to be surrounded by a list.
It always indents by twice the |\parindent|.
\mbr\ext\@|\listitem <listitem mark>|\]| \li|
\nbr
This is the normal way to designate a list item. The |<listitem mark>| is the first
string of characters after the |\listitem| and is terminated by blank, \].
The |<listitem mark>| is placed to the left of the first character in the
list item with a total width of |\listitemmarksize|. At least one |\enspace|
exists between the end of the |<listitem mark>| and the first character in
the list item. If the |<listitem mark>| is larger than the space allotted, It
will stick {\bf into} the list item.
A list item continues until the list ends or a new list item begins.
\mbr\ext\@|\loosenlist|
\nbr
This command {\bf loosens} the spacing between list items in the present and
all enclosed lists by a factor of 4 = 1/.25. It will undo a single
|\tightenlist| at the same level.
\mbr
\ext\@|\samplemark{<listitem mark>}|
\nbr
This command is used to create lists with marks that may be of quite different
size than that assumed by the defaults. All marks and indents contained in
the same list and sublists will be changed. This command {\bf must} be used
before the first list item to affect the present list.
The |\listitemmarksize| is one |\enspace| larger than the
sample mark and the |\listindent|, |\sublistindent|, and |\subsublistindent|
{\bf inside} the same group are modified accordingly.
\mbr\ext\@|\tightenlist|
\nbr
This command {\bf tightens} the spacing between list items in the present and
all enclosed lists by a factor of .25 = 1/4. It will undo a single
|\loosenlist| at the same level.
\endblockmode
\shead{listparms}{Command Forms -- List Spacing Parameters}
All of the parameters are set via assignments such as
|\...skip [=] <glue, dimen>|.
Their use should be obvious from their names. Note that |\pr...| is the skip
that {\it precedes} and |\po...| is {\it post} the |list| in question.
For example, |\prsublistskip| is the skip that occurs before the start of a
|sublist| and |\posublistskip| that which follows. Where a |list|, |sublist|,
and/or |subsublist| start or finish at the same place, the maximum skip is
chosen.
