Format unordered (itemize) and ordered (enumerate) lists.
formatUL(x, label = "*", offset = 0,
width = 0.9 * getOption("width"))
formatOL(x, type = "arabic", offset = 0, start = 1,
width = 0.9 * getOption("width"))
a character vector of list items.
a character string used for labelling the items.
a non-negative integer giving the offset (indentation) of the list.
a positive integer giving the target column for wrapping lines in the output.
a character string specifying the ‘type’ of the
labels in the ordered list. If "arabic"
(default), arabic
numerals are used. For "Alph"
or "alph"
, single upper
or lower case letters are employed (in this case, the number of the
last item must not exceed 26). Finally, for "Roman"
or
"roman"
, the labels are given as upper or lower case roman
numerals (with the number of the last item maximally 3899).
type
