How to add text for a subpoint in a list?

Questions

Hello!

Suppose I have:

  #list(marker: "◼",
  [Foundations],
  [Calculate],
  [Construct],
  [Data Loading],
)

How do I add text to for example describe “Foundations”?

Kind regards

Maybe either of the following works for you?

#[
  #set list(marker: "◼")

  - Foundations

    Texts like this?

  - Calculate

  - Construct

  - Data Loading
]


#list(marker: "◼", tight: false,
  [
    Foundations

    Texts like this?
  ],
  [Calculate],
  [Construct],
  [Data Loading],
)

That makes sense, I ended up with this:

#list(
  marker: "◼", tight: true,
  [
    Foundations #linebreak() #h(1em)
    The basic principles and concepts.
  ],
  [
    Calculate #linebreak() #h(1em)
    Methods for performing calculations.
  ],
  [
    Construct #linebreak() #h(1em)
    Techniques for building structures.
  ],
  [
    Data Loading #linebreak() #h(1em)
    Procedures for importing data.
  ]
)

In case it’s interesting to you, this has the same output but uses a bit more markdown-like syntax:

#set list(marker: "◼", tight: true)

- Foundations\ #h(1em)
  The basic principles
- Calculate\ #h(1em)
  Methods for performing calculations.
- Construct\ #h(1em)
  Techniques for building structures.
- Data Loading\ #h(1em)
  Procedures for importing data.

Putting a backslash with a space after "\ " is shorthand for adding a linebreak.

This also has the side effect that all lists after this have the same marker. This can be avoided by putting all of this inside of its own code block:

Inside Own Scope 
#[
#set list(marker: "◼", tight: true)

- Foundations\ #h(1em)
  The basic principles
- Calculate\ #h(1em)
  Methods for performing calculations.
- Construct\ #h(1em)
  Techniques for building structures.
- Data Loading\ #h(1em)
  Procedures for importing data.
