## List, Numbered List, Definition List

- Description: Identifies the start of a list item
- Properties: Multiline, !FreeSpaces, !Align, Nesting
- Contains: Macros, Beautifiers, Lists, Table, Verbatim, Raw, Tagged, Bars, Links, Image, Comment
- Syntax:
  - A line that starts with a dash/plus/colon followed by exactly one space
  - The first list char can NOT be a space (exception: definition lists)
  - Optional spaces (regular spaces, not TAB) at the line beginning define sublists depth (nesting)
  - Sublists end with a less depth item (from parent list) or with an empty item
  - All opened lists are closed with two consecutive blank lines
- Details:
  - If the end of the source file (EOF) is hit, all opened lists are closed
  - Lists can be mixed, like a definition list inside a numbered list.
  - Some targets may not support list nesting, then the sublists items are moved up to the mother list level.
  - There is not a limit for sublists depth. But some targets may have restrictions, so the sublists than are deeper than the maximum level are moved up.
