To Enter a Lablist

A lablist is a two column list with optional column headings.

    To create a labeled list without headings, use the <lablist> element as shown:

<lablist spacing>
     \ label 1\ item 1  text
     \ label 2\ item 2  text
       .
       .
       .
     \ label N\ item N  text
 <\lablist>  

Where spacing is loose (default) or tight.

Example

Here's a list of labeled chapter descriptions. The optional label headings are not provided.

<lablist tight>
\Chapter 1\ An Overview of the System
\Chapter 2\ Installing the Operating System
\Chapter 3\ Configuring the Desktop
\Appendix A\ System Commands Quick Reference
<\lablist>
