With these Elements

<list>
Value Meaning
A word A word that either (1) specifies the character to be used for the list-item prefix (for example, the word “bullet” for a list with bulleted items) or (2) describes the appearance or format of the list items (for example, the word “simple” for a list that has no prefix character before each list item or the word “ordered” for a numbered list whose prefix style is set at display time).
