Comment 8 for bug 1649554

About 60 pages in the desktop help use <list> elements. (I listed them using the command grep "<list" *.page.) Can I go through them and (where possible) tidy up the help by putting in type="disc" (that's the bullet style that we are using)? I was planning to do the changes manually - not of course via a global replace - each time checking the html (but not checking the page appearance using yelp).

Most of the uses of <list> seem straightforward. However, there's a handful of unusual/complicated uses, which I may well leave alone. (If in doubt, leave it alone.)

So far I've noticed three short procedures that have been wrongly marked up using <list>, so I'm planning to change those too. They'll be changed to <steps> elements.

I'll just be changing markup (not the English text) so there is (surely) no impact on the translators. This is basically a simple job (though there are 60 pages to check). Can anything go wrong?
