The macro package supports the following lists and environments:
itemize
and an open parenthesis and to close it with a closing
parenthesis. The other way is to start the list with startit()
and to
end it with endit()
.
The items in the list are indicated with it()
.
Example:
One version of itemized list: itemize( it() One item. it() Another item. ) Second version: startit() it() One item. it() Another item. endit()
description()
or
is started with startdit()
and ended with enddit()
.
The items in the list are marked with dit()
, this macro expects the
short description of the item.
Example:
One version of a description list: description( dit(First this:) One item. dit(Then this:) Another item. ) Second version: startdit() dit(First this:) One item. dit(Then this:) Another item. enddit()
enumerate()
, or
it must start with starteit()
and end with endeit()
.
The elements in the list must be indicated with eit()
.
Example:
One version of an enumerated list: enumerate( eit() One item. eit() Another item. ) Second version: starteit() eit() One item. eit() Another item. endeit()
Centered text is either either inside center()
, or starts with
startcenter()
and ends with endcenter()
. Separate lines in a
centered block must be terminated by nl()
, otherwise they are merged
with subsequent lines.
Example:
center(\ Centered text. nl() Another line of centered text.) startcenter() Centered text. endcenter()
The text must either be inside verb()
:
verb( This is totally verbatim text. It is not further processed by Yodl. )
The text in question is of course not subject to macro expansion by Yodl.
However, global string substitution as defined by SUBST
always occurs,
