The ListItem element is a wrapper around an item in a list. In an ItemizedList or an OrderedList, the ListItem surrounds the entire list item. In a VariableList, ListItem surrounds the “definition” part of the list item.
Formatted as a displayed block. List items usually generate the appropriate mark (a number or bullet) and appear indented, next to the mark. In a VariableList, the presentation may be influenced by the length of the Term or Terms that precede the list item and by attributes on the list itself.
These elements contain listitem: itemizedlist, orderedlist, varlistentry.
The following elements occur in listitem: abstract, authorblurb, blockquote, epigraph, example, figure, informaltable, itemizedlist, literallayout, mediaobject, note, orderedlist, para, programlisting, sidebar, table, variablelist.
Override specifies the keyword for the type of mark to be used on this ListItem instead of the mark currently in use for the list.
For examples, see itemizedlist, orderedlist, para, variablelist, xref.
