Processing expectations

Segmented lists can be formatted in a number of ways. Two popular formats are tabular and as a list of repeated headings and elements. In a tabular presentation, the segmentedlist is the table. In the list presentation, the segmentedlist surrounds the entire list of blocks of heading/element pairs.

Children

The following elements occur in segmentedlist: info (db.titleforbidden.info), info (db.titleonly.info), seglistitem, segtitle, title, titleabbrev.
