446 446     <para>
447 447       <indexterm><primary>lists</primary></indexterm>
448 448       Here's how you make the DocBook equivalent of the three usual HTML-lists:
449 449     </para>
450 450
451 451     <variablelist>
452 452
453 453       <varlistentry>
454 454         <term><emphasis role="strong">1. How to make an &lt;ul&gt;</emphasis></term>
455 455         <listitem><para>
456 456             Making an unordered list is pretty much like doing the same thing in HTML - if you close your <computeroutput>&lt;li&gt;</computeroutput>, that is. The only differences are that each list item has to be wrapped in something more, such as
457 457             <computeroutput>&lt;para&gt;</computeroutput>, and that the tags are called
458 458             <ulink url="http://docbook.org/tdg/html/itemizedlist.html"><computeroutput>&lt;itemizedlist&gt;</computeroutput></ulink>
459 459             and
460 460             <ulink url="http://docbook.org/tdg/html/listitem.html"><computeroutput>&lt;listitem&gt;</computeroutput></ulink>:
461 461           </para>
462 462
463 463           <programlisting>
464 464             &lt;itemizedlist&gt;
465 465            
466               &lt;listitem&gt;&lt;para&gt;Stuff goes here&lt;/para&gt;&lt;listitem&gt;
467               &lt;listitem&gt;&lt;para&gt;More stuff goes here&lt;/para&gt;&lt;listitem&gt;
  466             &lt;listitem&gt;&lt;para&gt;Stuff goes here&lt;/para&gt;&lt;/listitem&gt;
  467             &lt;listitem&gt;&lt;para&gt;More stuff goes here&lt;/para&gt;&lt;/listitem&gt;
468 468
469 469             &lt;/itemizedlist&gt;
470 470           </programlisting>
471 471
472 472         </listitem>
473 473       </varlistentry>

478 478         <listitem><para>
479 479             The ordered list is like the preceding, except that you use
480 480             <ulink url="http://docbook.org/tdg/html/orderedlist.html"><computeroutput>&lt;orderedlist&gt;</computeroutput></ulink> instead:</para>
481 481
482 482           <programlisting>
483 483             &lt;orderedlist&gt;
484 484            
485               &lt;listitem&gt;&lt;para&gt;Stuff goes here&lt;/para&gt;&lt;listitem&gt;
486               &lt;listitem&gt;&lt;para&gt;More stuff goes here&lt;/para&gt;&lt;listitem&gt;
  485             &lt;listitem&gt;&lt;para&gt;Stuff goes here&lt;/para&gt;&lt;/listitem&gt;
  486             &lt;listitem&gt;&lt;para&gt;More stuff goes here&lt;/para&gt;&lt;/listitem&gt;
487 487

497 497         <listitem><para>
498 498             This kind of list is called a <computeroutput>variablelist</computeroutput> and these are the tags you'll need to
499 499             make it happen:
