STATUS
- entered by PeterKorn
Applicability
Plain text documents. Not applicable to technologies that contain markup.
Description
The current Technique T2 doesn't show in the examples how list items spanning multiple lines in a fixed width document might be rendered. This proposed update to Example 1: Unordered lists shows this, which follows a convention commonly used in UNIX man pages.
Examples
Example 1: Unordered list
- unordered list item - unordered list item that may be quite long and go across multiple lines of text in a fixed width display, and so appears on multiple additional lines, each indented the same amount as the indentation of the first line, after the dash - unordered list item
