    14 <p>List items can in general be more complex (contain more elements) than
       
    15 grid items. Certain layout rules apply to all lists:</p>
       
    16 <ul>
       
    17 <li><p>All items in a list have equal height on the screen (forms do not follow
       
    18 this rule in the Edit state, see <xref href="GUID-1AA32C40-CDE0-4627-A634-7C07BB1ED67B.dita">Forms</xref>). </p></li>
       
    19 <li><p>The column structure of all items in a list must be similar. It is
       
    20 not possible to combine e.g. single-column items to a three-column item list
       
    21 (however, it is possible to use some different item types having the same
       
    22 general appearance), see <xref href="GUID-F95A7D74-FD5C-40D2-BF4F-2F75443CAE51.dita">Column
       
    23 structure of lists</xref> for columns. </p></li>
       
    24 <li><p>Partial items are not visible: when the list/grid pane area does not
       
    25 exactly correspond to an integer number of items, the remaining area outside
       
    26 the last fully visible item appears empty, displaying the background of the
       
    27 particular pane.</p></li>
       
    28 </ul>
       
    29 <p>In landscape layout, all two row lists can be stretched to be displayed
       
    30 in one row. This enables displaying more items in the list. In list stretching,
       
    31 the second row is moved next to the first row. List stretching is ON by default,
       
    32 but application can decide to disable it.</p>
