lists in a <a href="qtextdocument.html">QTextDocument</a>.</p>
<p>A list is composed of one or more items, represented as text
blocks. The list's format specifies the appearance of items in the
list. In particular, it determines the indentation and the style of
each item.</p>
<p>The indentation of the items is an integer value that causes
each item to be offset from the left margin by a certain amount.
This value is read with <a href="qtextlistformat.html#indent">indent</a>() and set with <a href="qtextlistformat.html#setIndent">setIndent</a>().</p>
<p>The style used to decorate each item is set with <a href="qtextlistformat.html#setStyle">setStyle</a>() and can be read with
the <a href="qtextlistformat.html#style">style</a>() function. The
style controls the type of bullet points and numbering scheme used
for items in the list. Note that lists that use the decimal
numbering scheme begin counting at 1 rather than 0.</p>
<p>Style properties can be set to further configure the appearance
of list items; for example, the <a href="qtextformat.html#Property-enum">ListNumberPrefix</a> and <a href="qtextformat.html#Property-enum">ListNumberSuffix</a> properties
can be used to customize the numbers used in an ordered list so
that they appear as (1), (2), (3), etc.:</p>
