== Overview ==
== Lists and Tables ==
 
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 [[Library of Formatting Examples:Tables|"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.
A simple list, but actually a simple table needing aligned columns.
Remember to remove the dots if the Proofers didn't already do so.
