LP (List Part)

The LP tag defines a comment or explanation within a note list, ordered list, unordered list, or simple list.

Syntax


>>-<--LP--+--------+-->--+-------------------+--+-------+------><
          '-NOSKIP-'     '-implied-paragraph-'  '-</LP>-'

Parameters

NOSKIP: This attribute causes the list part to format without creating a line before the list part.
implied-paragraph: This is the text of the list part.

Comments

The LP tag defines a comment or explanation within an ordered list, unordered list, or simple list. You can code the LP tag anywhere within a list.

The text of the list part starts at the left margin of the current level of the list. It is not numbered or lettered. When you use it within a NOTEL or OL definition, LP does not interrupt or increment the sequence.

The next list item or the end of the list implicitly ends the list part.

Restrictions

You must code the LP tag within a NOTEL, OL, SL, or UL definition. See NOTEL (Note List), OL (Ordered List), SL (Simple List), and UL (Unordered List) for descriptions of these tags.
