Supported Simple List Formats
A simple list is an ordered collection of elements. There is no hierarchical data associated with this list, and all elements will be at the same level. Common uses for these lists include: a list of parts, a list of tasks/actions, or a list of locations.

Supported Multi-Level List Formats
A multi-level list is a hierarchically ordered collection of elements. Hierarchical data is driven by the number, such that level 2 numbers are a child of level 1 numbers. Common uses for these lists include: a requirements document, organization's hierarchy, or system components.
