simplelist — An undecorated list of single words or short phrases
Common attributes and common linking attributes.
Additional attributes:
A SimpleList is a list of words or phrases. It offers a
convenient alternative to the other list elements for inline content.
Ironically, the processing expectations of a
SimpleList are quite complex.
The presentation of a SimpleList is controlled by the
Type attribute, which has three possible
values:
Inline Indicates that the Members of the list should be
rendered as a comma separated, inline list.
Horiz Indicates that the Members of the list should be
rendered in a tabular fashion with members running across the
rows.
Vert Indicates that the Members of the list should be
rendered in a tabular fashion with members running down the
columns. This is the default.
In both of the tabular cases, the number of columns in the table is
controlled by the Columns attribute.
Common attributes and common linking attributes.
