# 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.
# Below are two types of lists that we can create using a document builder.
# 1 -  A numbered list:
# Numbered lists create a logical order for their paragraphs by numbering each item.

# By setting the "ListLevelNumber" property, we can increase the list level
# to begin a self-contained sub-list at the current list item.
# The Microsoft Word list template called "NumberDefault" uses numbers to create list levels for the first list level.
# Deeper list levels use letters and lowercase Roman numerals.
