Making Lists
TFORM has several different types of lists you can use to present text. A list
can be any series of entries—such as words, sentences, or paragraphs—that
you put together in a specific order. The most commonly used types of
TFORM lists are:
Bulleted
Numeric
Alphabetic
Roman
See the PS TEXT FORMAT Reference Manual for a complete description of
list types and formatting variations available for TFORM lists.
Note
You must have SET JOIN ON for TFORM to format your lists correctly.
Starting the List
No matter which type of list you create, the commands you use are the
same. You start a list with the BEGIN LIST command. If you want to, you
can give the list a name containing up to 32 characters. You must indicate
the kind of list immediately after the command. The BEGIN LIST by itself
creates a bulleted list. For example:
\BEGIN LIST
\BEGIN LIST BULLET
\BEGIN LIST ALPHABETIC
\BEGIN LIST ALPHABETIC UPPER
\BEGIN LIST ROMAN
\BEGIN LIST ROMAN LOWER
\BEGIN LIST EMPLOYEE BULLET
The command alone
creates a bulleted list.
Type of lists
Roman lists are
uppercase by default.
Alphabetic lists are
lowercase by default.
You can give a
name to the list.
