# A list allows us to organize and decorate sets of paragraphs with prefix symbols and indents.
# We can create nested lists by increasing the indent level.
# We can begin and end a list by using a document builder's "ListFormat" property.
# Each paragraph that we add between a list's start and the end will become an item in the list.

# 1 -  A numbered list:

# to begin a self-contained sub-list at the current list item.

# Deeper list levels use letters and lowercase Roman numerals.
