277.0. "Square bullets for checklists" by PDVAX::P_DAVIS (aka SARAH::P_DAVIS) Tue Apr 21 1987 11:33

    Is there any way to generate lists using a small unfilled square
    as a bullet?  I'd like to produce checklists, with a box which can
    be checked for each list entry.
    
    Ideally, I'd like to see DOCUMENT provide some choices for unnumbered
    lists, other than the default bullet or a user-specified ASCII
    character.
    
    I'd settle for being able to user "[]" as the bullet, although it
    would not look as good as an actual square character.  The
    documentation says I only get a single character for user-specified
    bullet.

    The following will work. Using the # character will ensure an integer
    width box.

    <align_char>(#)
    <list>(unnumbered\<box>(#))
    <le>fee
    <le>fie
    <le>fo
    <le>fum
    <endlist>
    <endalign_char>
