TEI P4 Beta: Reference Documentation

`<item>` | contains one component of a list.
Attributes: |
`n` | (name or number) indicates the number (or letter, or other enumerator) borne by this list item in the copy text.
| Datatype: CDATA
| Values: Whatever string of characters is used to label a list item in the copy text may be used as the value of `n` , but it is not required that numbering be recorded explicitly.
| Default: #IMPLIED
Note | In ordered lists, the `n` attribute on the `<item>` element is by definition synonymous with the use of the `<label>` element to record the enumerator of the list item. In glossary lists, however, the term being defined should be given with the `<label>` element, not `n` .

Example

    <list type=ordered>
    <head>Here begin the chapter headings of Book IV</head>
    <item n='4.1'>The death of Queen Clotild.
    <item n='4.2'>How King Lothar wanted to appropriate
         one third of the Church revenues.
    <item n='4.3'>The wives and children of Lothar.
    <item n='4.4'>The Counts of the Bretons.
    <item n='4.5'>Saint Gall the Bishop.
    <item n='4.6'>The priest Cato.
    <item> ...
