Parameters

COMPACT

This attribute causes the list to be formatted without a blank line between the list items.

NOSKIP

This attribute causes the list to format without creating a blank line before the first line of the list.

SPACE=NO | YES

The SPACE attribute controls the indentation space for the list item. When the SPACE attribute is not specified on the LI tag, the SPACE attribute from the NOTEL tag is used to set the indentation space for the nested LI tag item-text.

When SPACE=YES, the indentation is set to 3 spaces.

When SPACE=NO (or SPACE is not specified), the indentation is set to 4 spaces.

The SPACE attribute can be used to control the alignment of list items when the first word of some list items is a DBCS word preceded by a shift-out character and the first word of other list items is an SBCS word.

INDENT=n

This attribute specifies that the note list be indented from the current left margin.

TYPE= ET | CH | CT | FP | LEF | LI | NT | PT | SAC | TEXT | WASL | WT

This attribute defines the attribute type to be applied to the note heading. Using a CUA attribute causes the text to appear in the associated color.

When TYPE=TEXT, a non-CUA attribute is generated and you can specify the color, intensity, and highlighting with the COLOR, INTENS, and HILITE attributes. These attributes are not valid for CUA types.

This attribute specifies the color of the note heading. You can define this attribute as a variable name preceded by a percent (%) sign.

INTENS= HIGH | LOW | NON | %varname

This attribute defines the intensity of the note heading. You can define this attribute as a variable name preceded by a percent (%) sign.

HILITE= USCORE | BLINK | REVERSE | %varname

This attribute specifies the extended highlighting attribute of the note heading. You can define this attribute as a variable name preceded by a percent (%) sign.

TEXT=alternate-note-heading

This attribute provides a text string to replace the standard "Notes:" heading.

Comments

The NOTEL tag defines a numbered list of notes. You can code the NOTEL tag anywhere within an INFO tag.

The first line of the note list formats with the word "Notes:" (or its translated equivalent) or the alternate-note-heading.

Use the LI tag to denote each list item. See LI (List Item) for more information on the LI tag.

Restrictions

You must code the NOTEL tag within an INFO definition. See INFO (Information Region) for a complete description of this tag.
You cannot nest a NOTEL tag within a NOTEL definition.

Processing

Table 1. Tags you can code within a NOTEL definition
Tag	Reference	Usage	Required
LI	LI (List Item)	Multiple	No
LP	LP (List Part)	Multiple	No

Examples

Here is help panel markup that contains a multiple notes. Notice the numbered format for the content of the notes, which is different from the format generated with the NOTE or NT tag. A P tag is nested within the NOTEL definition to provide an additional paragraph of note text. Figure 1 shows the formatted result.
