## Description

A `LoT` is a list of titles. It can be used to generate lists of `Figure`s, `Table`s, `Example`s, or `Equation`s.

### Processing expectations

Formatted as a displayed block. A list of titles in a `Book` usually introduces a forced page break.

Most often, lists of titles are generated automatically by the presentation system and never have to be represented explicitly in the document source.

### Parents

These elements contain lot: `appendix`, `article`, `book`, `chapter`, `part`, `preface`, `sect1`, `sect2`, `sect3`, `sect4`, `sect5`, `section`.

### Children

The following elements occur in lot: `beginpage`, `lotentry`, `subtitle`, `title`, `titleabbrev`.

## Attributes

label

  `Label` specifies an identifying number or string that may be used in presentation.
