Section 4.20 Named Lists
As mentioned above, it is not possible to have a list be the target of a cross-reference. Should an entire list be so important that you need to point to it from elsewhere, then make it a named list by wrapping it in the
<list>
tag.This element can begin with an optional
<introduction>
, then has a single, required list, which may be any of the three types. It concludes with an optional <conclusion>
. It can have an @xml:id
attribute, which in a way is the whole raison d’être for this construction. It will be numbered when rendered, and so also requires a <title>
. You might think of this as similar to a <table>
—bits of information organized spatially, via indentation and line breaks.Since this element associates a number, title, to an entire list, we call it a “named list”. What should we call a list that is authored within a paragraph and cannot be the target of a cross-reference? We call it an anonymous list when we want to make the distinction.
