+<p>Based on the functionality, the following list categories can be identified:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><p>Menu list </p></li>
+<li><p>Selection list</p></li>
+<li><p>Markable list </p></li>
+<li><p>Multi-selection list</p></li>
+<li><p>Setting list </p></li>
+<li><p>Hierarchical list</p></li>
+<li><p>Hierarchical column list</p></li>
+<li><p>Forms</p></li>
+</ul>
+<p>Lists belonging to one category may have different graphical appearances.
+See <xref href="GUID-CB548959-A1D6-4585-B8E3-B09E37E0CB43.dita">List layouts</xref> for
+information about different looking list items.</p>
+<p>On the whole, list items and command should not be mixed, but in cases
+where some command in a list would significantly boost efficiency and user
+experience, it is perfectly acceptable to add one command onto the list. It
+is important that there is no more than one command per list, and that the
+command is placed as the first item on that list.</p>
