Lists

Text Pages in Coppice have support for creating lists. Lists can either be bulleted or numbered and can be nested to create hierarchies of items.

A page in canvas containing the text 'Lists in Coppice:' followed by a numbered list with text '1. Creating a List in Coppice is easy 2. They can be bulleted or numbered 3. They can even be nested'. The last point contains a nested list with text '- This lets you create hierarchies of info, - And each nested list can have its own style'
