Overview

Books sometimes print lists in columns. If the Proofers didn't change that to a single left-justified column, the Formatters should do it. If there are multiple columns and they contain different kinds of information, as shown in the next example, then it is a Table, not a List, and the columns need to be preserved and aligned. (See the "Tables" Category for fancier examples.) Lists are not wrappable (the line breaks must be preserved), so enclose them in no-wrap markups and rejoin any wrapped lines.

Multi-line headings

Heading is wrappable, not a Hanging Indent, and all-caps. No markups.
