---+ Render List Plugin 

Render bullet lists in a variety of formats

---++ Syntax Rules

   * Put a =%<nop>RENDERLIST{ theme="name" }%= or simply =%<nop>RENDERLIST{"name"}%= before any bullet list
      * The lists can be handcrafted, generated by another Plugin, a =%<nop>TOC%=, or the result of a %TWIKIWEB%.FormattedSearch
   * Rendering themes can be defined by =&lt;name&gt;_THEME= Plugin settings
      * Each theme is defined by a comma separated list containing the render type and parameters required by that render type
      * There are different render types; this initial Plugin version has *tree* and *icon* render types
   * Format of the *tree* render type:
      * =Set &lt;name&gt;_THEME = tree, &lt;0/1 flag to suppress/show lines of first level&gt;=
   * Format of the *icon* render type:
      * =Set &lt;name&gt;_THEME = icon, &lt;0/1 flag to suppress/show lines of first level&gt;, &lt;icon width&gt;, &lt;icon height&gt;, &lt;spacer graph&gt;, &lt;T-line graph&gt;, &lt;I-line graph&gt;, &lt;L-line graph&gt;, &lt;icon image&gt;=
      * To define new Icon themes, attach images to this Plugin topic and set the parameters accordingly
