Lists

Bullet lists

The following is an example of bullet lists. Each list item should be tightly compacted.

  • Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

  • Vestibulum vitae erat a nunc hendrerit sodales.

  • Maecenas at est in justo ullamcorper malesuada non et nisi.

    • Ut vitae sapien interdum erat molestie fringilla.

    • Sed sodales erat sit amet suscipit tempus.

    • Donec placerat sem nec urna dapibus, id malesuada magna blandit.

    • Aenean eu purus vel eros convallis blandit.

    • Aliquam sed lacus id elit ultrices auctor vitae et libero.

  • Fusce aliquam lorem sit amet ante tristique, sed dapibus ex dictum.

    • Maecenas fermentum nisl vitae arcu cursus pulvinar.

    • Integer molestie lectus ut erat finibus, a sagittis ligula blandit.

    • Praesent quis nisi nec diam dictum vehicula id quis lorem.

    • Vivamus aliquam est ac ex vehicula, vitae vestibulum orci aliquet.

      • Integer commodo massa nec elit porta, suscipit viverra eros molestie.

      • Nulla rutrum turpis nec mauris vestibulum placerat.

    • Proin egestas augue eu nisi aliquet, a consequat sem venenatis.

    • Nunc tempor velit et varius convallis.

  • Ut auctor eros at turpis venenatis bibendum.

  • Nunc faucibus nisi vitae tortor porttitor, sit scelerisque lectus sagittis.

  • Curabitur lobortis augue vitae bibendum sodales.

  • Etiam venenatis orci eu ante suscipit lobortis ut vel lacus.

    • Ut fringilla diam luctus, vehicula felis et, lacinia leo.

    • Quisque et est scelerisque, porta libero quis, porttitor massa.

    • Suspendisse a massa rhoncus, efficitur ex sit amet, hendrerit tortor.

A bullet list can also contain multiple lines. There should be proper and equal spacing between compact lists and equal spacing between lists containing multiple blocks.

  • Proin sed lorem non ligula varius porta.

    Morbi eleifend nibh sit amet nibh ultricies, eu egestas orci iaculis.

    Aliquam eget nibh blandit, malesuada urna vehicula, mollis neque.

    • Quisque molestie lorem sit amet mi tempus lobortis.

      Vivamus eget risus vehicula, pretium lectus eget, congue augue.

      • Morbi dignissim ipsum non felis molestie convallis.

    • Aliquam malesuada sapien at ligula posuere pulvinar.

      • In in sem nec sem tempus aliquet.

      • Proin eget dolor quis mi congue vulputate.

      • Cras ultricies enim pretium turpis convallis malesuada.

      Morbi id libero ut neque bibendum pellentesque vel in quam.

    • Praesent elementum tortor nec ultrices sodales.

      Quisque dictum leo sit amet dolor tincidunt, a convallis tellus laoreet.

This paragraph is not part of the list.

Enumerated lists

Here is an example of enumerated lists. Each list item should be tightly compacted.

  1. Curabitur tincidunt eros non auctor commodo.

  2. Fusce vestibulum erat id massa vehicula, a suscipit ligula vestibulum.

  3. Fusce quis nibh quis dui aliquet maximus ac vel felis.

  4. Duis vehicula sem non turpis eleifend imperdiet.

An enumerated list can also contain multiple lines. There should be proper and equal spacing between compact lists and equal spacing between lists containing multiple blocks.

  1. Fusce feugiat velit a semper scelerisque.

    Proin vitae justo sed lacus auctor bibendum a gravida enim.

    Nunc ut ex cursus, volutpat diam at, dictum felis.

    1. Nulla eget neque vitae magna semper malesuada commodo at nunc.

      Sed scelerisque nisl et tempor blandit.

      1. Donec tempor velit vel facilisis ullamcorper.

      2. Donec sodales augue id ante hendrerit, aliquet tempor tortor malesuada.

        Fusce commodo urna a ante vulputate, eu scelerisque tortor imperdiet.

    2. Aliquam varius dui vel congue convallis.

    Duis eget ligula sed leo accumsan vulputate vel a mi.

Enumerated lists can also be styled:

  1. Sed in ante sed massa gravida rhoncus.

    1. Donec viverra nisi in magna vulputate blandit.

    2. Proin vulputate diam sit amet pharetra bibendum.

  3. Donec vitae lacus consectetur, vestibulum quam vitae, mattis nulla.

    1. Morbi eget enim fermentum, dictum eros non, pellentesque ante.

    2. Nam ut neque vulputate, vestibulum leo eget, consequat metus.

  4. Nunc non nunc quis elit tempor cursus.

    1. Vivamus in metus sit amet libero dapibus dignissim sit amet vitae nibh.

    2. Morbi ut diam eget velit facilisis convallis ut ac nisl.

  5. Aliquam vestibulum elit et pellentesque lacinia.

    1. Duis id justo consectetur, hendrerit dui et, viverra velit.

    2. Aliquam dictum justo vitae scelerisque tempus.

    3. Fusce et libero quis erat mattis porta.

Definition lists

The following is an example of definition lists. A user should be able to easily see a term entry and an associated description for the term. Classifiers may also exist for a term and should be presented along side it.

term 1

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

term 2

Maecenas at leo eget metus cursus tempor.

Pellentesque egestas orci id purus facilisis, eu vestibulum dolor feugiat.

term 3classifier

Nunc ac quam lacinia, viverra orci vel, varius dui.

term 4classifier oneclassifier two

Vivamus vel dolor eget mauris mollis dictum.

Glossary

Sphinx defines glossary markup which is like a definition list; however, a glossary provides referenceable terms.

glossary-item-01

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Etiam nec velit mauris. Ut eget enim at turpis semper finibus vel eget lorem. Mauris metus ligula, scelerisque eget accumsan non, maximus in massa. In eget ullamcorper lectus, quis dignissim quam. Nulla viverra, purus in gravida dapibus, ex ipsum elementum felis, eget euismod massa nunc ut leo. Nam feugiat orci tortor, ac lacinia eros dignissim vel. Cras bibendum efficitur velit bibendum ultrices. Quisque id nisi magna. Ut porta mauris velit, ut varius ligula rutrum sit amet. Praesent sagittis egestas ex, consectetur porta felis egestas ac. Quisque vitae eros felis.

glossary-item-02

Option lists

The following is an example of an option lists for a (Linux) ping command:

-a

Audible ping.

-A

Adaptive ping. Interpacket interval adapts to round-trip time, so that effectively not more than one (or more, if preload is set) unanswered probes present in the network. Minimal interval is 200msec for not super-user. On networks with low rtt this mode is essentially equivalent to flood mode.

-b

Allow pinging a broadcast address.

-B

Do not allow ping to change source address of probes. The address is bound to one selected when ping starts.

-c count

Stop after sending count ECHO_REQUEST packets. With deadline option, ping waits for count ECHO_REPLY packets, until the timeout expires.

-i interval

Wait interval seconds between sending each packet. The default is to wait for one second between each packet normally, or not to wait in flood mode. Only super-user may set interval to values less 0.2 seconds.

-L

Suppress loopback of multicast packets. This flag only applies if the ping destination is a multicast address.

-n

Numeric output only. No attempt will be made to lookup symbolic names for host addresses.

-Q tos

Set Quality of Service-related bits in ICMP datagrams. tos can be either decimal or hex number. Traditionally (RFC1349), these have been interpreted as:

  • 0 for reserved (currently being redefined as congestion control)

  • 1-4 for Type of Service

  • 5-7 for Precedence

Possible settings for Type of Service are:

  • minimal cost: 0x02

  • reliability: 0x04

  • throughput: 0x08

  • low delay: 0x10

Multiple TOS bits should not be set simultaneously. Possible settings for special Precedence range from priority (0x20) to net control (0xe0). You must be root (CAP_NET_ADMIN capability) to use Critical or higher precedence value. You cannot set bit 0x01 (reserved) unless ECN has been enabled in the kernel. In RFC2474, these fields has been redefined as 8-bit Differentiated Services (DS), consisting of: bits 0-1 of separate data (ECN will be used, here), and bits 2-7 of Differentiated Services Codepoint (DSCP).

-q

Quiet output. Nothing is displayed except the summary lines at startup time and when finished.

-t ttl

Set the IP Time to Live.

-T option

Set special IP timestamp options. timestamp option may be either tsonly (only timestamps), tsandaddr (timestamps and addresses) or tsprespec host1 [host2 [host3 [host4]]] (timestamp prespecified hops).

-v

Verbose output.

-V

Show version and exit.

-W timeout

Time to wait for a response, in seconds. The option affects only timeout in absence of any responses, otherwise ping waits for two RTTs.

Production list

The following is an example of a production list:

try_stmt  ::=  try1_stmt | try2_stmt
try1_stmt ::=  "try" ":" suite
               ("except" [expression ["," target]] ":" suite)+
               ["else" ":" suite]
               ["finally" ":" suite]
try2_stmt ::=  "try" ":" suite
               "finally" ":" suite
