<item>

| ## Text Encoding Initiative
### The XML Version of the TEI Guidelines # <item>

`<item>` | contains one component of a list.
Example |
    <list type="ordered">
       <head>Here begin the chapter headings of Book IV</head>
       <item n="4.1">The death of Queen Clotild.</item>
       <item n="4.2">How King Lothar wanted to appropriate
      one third of the Church revenues.</item>
       <item n="4.3">The wives and children of Lothar.</item>
       <item n="4.4">The Counts of the Bretons.</item>
       <item n="4.5">Saint Gall the Bishop.</item>
       <item n="4.6">The priest Cato.</item>
       <item> ...</item>
    </list>
Note | Whatever string of characters is used to label a list item in the copy text may be used as the value of the global `n` attribute, but it is not required that numbering be recorded explicitly. 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`.
