The outlines package - - ---------------------- Charles Pecheur, March 25, 2005
The outlines package defines the outline environment, that allows outline-style indented lists with freely mixed levels up to four levels deep. It replaces the nested begin/end pairs by different item tags 1 to 4 for each nesting level. This is very convenient in cases where nested lists are used a lot, such as for to-do lists or presentation slides.
This package is built on top of the standard list environments and has no specific pre-requisite. - - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
