All kinds of lists.

Make List...

Makes a list of the text in a selection. If you, for example, have a list

    * item one
    * item two
    * item two
    and a half
    * item three

you can make an HTML list of them. First select the lines with the items, before you choose "Make list" from the menu. You are then presented with a dialog shown below where you can specify

- a string with which all list items must begin, in this case *. You cannot transform a list where the items begins with 1), 2) etc. All items must begin with the same string.
- Which kind of list you want. Choose 'None' if you don't want the list tags to be inserted, for example if you are inserting new items in an existing list.

The result in this case will be

    <UL>
        <LI>item one
        <LI>item two
        <LI>item two
    and a half
        <LI>item three
    </UL>

Bulleted | <UL> list.
UL no attr (option) | <UL> without attributes.
New Bulleted Item | <LI> with attributes corresponding to an <UL> list.
Ordered | <OL> list.
OL no attr (option) | <OL> without attributes.
New Ordered Item | <LI> with attributes corresponding to an <OL> list.
Directory | <DIR> list.
Menu | <MENU> list.
New List Item | <LI> without attributes.
Discursive | <DL> list.
New Discursive Entry | <DT> and <DD>

When you make a list you are first asked how many items you want and, in some cases, if you want to be asked about attributes for each list item. You are then asked about attributes for the list element and finally, if you have said so, about attributes for each list item.
