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> <pre class="cpp"> <span class="type">QTextListFormat</span> listFormat; listFormat<span class="operator">.</span>setStyle(<span class="type">QTextListFormat</span><span class="operator">.</span>ListDecimal); listFormat<span class="operator">.</span>setNumberPrefix(<span class="string">"("</span>); listFormat<span class="operator">.</span>setNumberSuffix(<span class="string">")"</span>); cursor<span class="operator">.</span>insertList(listFormat); </pre><hr /><h2>Type Documentation</h2><h3 class="fn"><a name="Style-enum" />QTextListFormat.Style</h3><p>This enum describes the symbols used to decorate list items:</p> <table class="valuelist"> <tr class="odd" valign="top"> <th class="tblConst">Constant</th> <th class="tblval">Value</th> <th class="tbldscr">Description</th> </tr> <tr> <td class="topAlign"><tt>QTextListFormat.ListDisc</tt></td> <td class="topAlign"><tt>-1</tt></td> <td class="topAlign">a filled circle</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="topAlign"><tt>QTextListFormat.ListCircle</tt></td> <td class="topAlign"><tt>-2</tt></td> <td class="topAlign">an empty circle</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="topAlign"><tt>QTextListFormat.ListSquare</tt></td> <td class="topAlign"><tt>-3</tt></td> <td class="topAlign">a filled square</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="topAlign"><tt>QTextListFormat.ListDecimal</tt></td> <td class="topAlign"><tt>-4</tt></td> <td class="topAlign">decimal values in ascending order</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="topAlign"><tt>QTextListFormat.ListLowerAlpha</tt></td> <td class="topAlign"><tt>-5</tt></td> <td class="topAlign">lower case Latin characters in alphabetical order</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="topAlign"><tt>QTextListFormat.ListUpperAlpha</tt></td> <td class="topAlign"><tt>-6</tt></td> <td class="topAlign">upper case Latin characters in alphabetical order</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="topAlign"><tt>QTextListFormat.ListLowerRoman</tt></td> <td class="topAlign"><tt>-7</tt></td> <td class="topAlign">lower case roman numerals (supports up to 4999 items only)</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="topAlign"><tt>QTextListFormat.ListUpperRoman</tt></td> <td class="topAlign"><tt>-8</tt></td> <td class="topAlign">upper case roman numerals (supports up to 4999 items only)</td> </tr> </table> <hr /><h2>Method Documentation</h2><h3 class="fn"><a name="QTextListFormat" />QTextListFormat.__init__ (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Constructs a new list format object.</p> <h3 class="fn"><a name="QTextListFormat-2" />QTextListFormat.__init__ (<i>self</i>, <a href="qtextlistformat.html">QTextListFormat</a>)</h3><h3 class="fn"><a name="indent" />int QTextListFormat.indent (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Returns the list format's indentation.
