+<p>Multi-selection lists are used when the purpose is to emphasize that it
+is possible to select several items from a list at the same time. Typically,
+there is an on-going operation that expects one or more items as input. An
+example of this is when the user is creating a group, and a list of names
+is offered as a multi-selection list.</p>
+<p>In a multi-selection list, the user can browse the items and check and
+uncheck any number of them. The state of each item is indicated in a checkbox
+adjacent to the item. When the user accepts the list, information about the
+marked items is passed to the application.</p>
+<p>Items are checked and unchecked using the Selection key, and the list is
+accepted with the left softkey Done/OK. Note that unlike in a markable list,
+the Options softkey is not available: one can only check and uncheck items
+and then accept or cancel the list.</p>
