<para>&kword; has a simple and flexible list creation system.

Using the same interface, &kword; can create bulleted or enumerated lists of nearly any depth.

<para>An enumerating style is a series of letters or
|
|
numbers which proposes an order or hierarchy within the list. Bullets
|
|
simply mark the item as part of the list and usually consist of a symbol or shape.</para>
