Table 336 – Standard structure types for list elements

Structure Type

Description

L

(List) A sequence of items of like meaning and importance. Its immediate children should be an optional caption (structure type Caption; see 14.8.4.2, “Grouping Elements” ) followed by one or more list items (structure type LI).

LI

(List item) An individual member of a list. Its children may be one or more labels, list bodies, or both (structure types Lbl or LBody).

Lbl

(Label) A name or number that distinguishes a given item from others in the same list or other group of like items.

NOTE In a dictionary list, for example, it contains the term being defined; in a bulleted or numbered list, it contains the bullet character or the number of the list item and associated punctuation.

LBody

(List body) The descriptive content of a list item. In a dictionary list, for example, it contains the definition of the term. It may either contain the content directly or have other BLSEs, perhaps including nested lists, as children.
