Can a list contain a single item? #113

Closed dyacob closed 6 years ago

dyacob commented 6 years ago

A rule of list formation taught for some some languages requires that an ordered list must contain more than a single item. That is a list, cannot contain only an "A)" or 1." entry, and must also containing at least a "B)" or "2.". Otherwise another layout approach must be applied.

Question: Do Ethiopic list formation rules allow for a single item? If a list reduces to a single entry, what alternative layout should be applied?

Examples were found where a single item list would be valid (see: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-i18n-ethiopic/2018AprJun/0004.html). However, the topic was deemed out of scope and more appropriate for a style guide.

For convenience, here's a link corresponding to the one above that shows the whole thread, and is therefore easier to read. https://www.w3.org/Mail/flatten/index?subject=Is+a+list+of+one+item+still+a+list&list=public-i18n-ethiopic
