-% Derive bullet from \Lfmt based on \Lcnt, which is incremented per item.
-
-\newcount\Lcnt % item number within current list
-\newcount\Llvl \Llvl=0 % list nesting level
+% The label of each list item is derived from \Lfmt, which should be a macro
+% whose expansion optionally depends on \Llvl (the nesting level of list, where
+% 0 means not in a list, 1 means in a top-level list, etc.) and \Lcnt (the item
+% number, where 0 means before the first item, 1 means in the first item,
+% etc.). Alternatively, \Lfmt can be overridden with an explicit label on an
+% item-by-item basis by using \xitem in place of \item. Each label is
+% overlapped in to the ident of the first paragraph in the item. The geometry
+% of a list is mostly controlled by the following parameters.
\newdimen\Lindent % indent of first paragraph in item
-\newdimen\Lmaxprotrusion % max protrusion of item label
+\newdimen\Lmaxprotrusion % max protrusion of item label into left margin
\newdimen\Llmargin % bring left margin in by this amount
\newdimen\Lrmargin % bring right margin in by this amount
\newskip\Ltopskip % vskip above list
\newskip\Lmidskip % vskip between items
\newskip\Lbotskip % vskip below list
-\newcount\Ltoppenalty
-\newcount\Lmidpenalty
-\newcount\Lbotpenalty
+\newcount\Ltoppenalty % penalty above list
+\newcount\Lmidpenalty % penalty between items
+\newcount\Lbotpenalty % penalty below list
