Attributes(what's this?)

list-type (optional): Defines the type of list: Ordered, unordered, or bulleted by labels on each of the items.
Possible values:
- bulleted - Bullets the list of items (default).
- enumerated - Creates a list in which each item is numbered in order.
- labeled-item - Creates a list ordered by user-specified labels.
bullet-style (optional): Changes the bullet character in front of each list item. Currently, the supported values are "bullet" (default), "open-circle", "pilcrow", "rpilcrow", "asterisk", "dash", "section", literal text, and "none".
number-style (optional): The numeric system used to display an enumerated list. Currently, the supported values are "arabic" (default), "upper-alpha", "lower-alpha", "upper-roman", and "lower-roman".
start-value (optional): The value at which an enumerated list begins incrementing (default is "1"). Must be a positive integer, even for alphabetic or Roman numeral lists.
mark-prefix (optional): Adds text before each list item mark (e.g. a bullet in a bulleted list, or a number in an enumerated list). The default is nothing for all list types.
mark-suffix (optional): Adds text after each list item mark (e.g. a bullet in a bulleted list, or a number in an enumerated list). The default is "." for enumerated lists, ":" for labeled-item lists, and nothing for other list types.
item-sep (optional): The character used between list items. The default is ";" for inline lists and nothing for block lists.
display (optional):
Possible values:
- block - The list will be set apart from the surrounding text (default). If the display attribute is set to "block" or is absent, then an id is required.
- inline - The list will be included in the current line of text.
- none - The list will not be displayed.
type (optional): Defines the type of list. Type can be any user-defined value that reflects the purpose of the list.
id (optional for inline display lists): A unique identifier, whose value must begin with a letter and contain only letters, numbers, hyphens, underscores, colons, and/or periods (no spaces).
