Columns

Books sometimes print lists in columns. If the proofreaders didn't change that to a single left-justified column, the formatters should do it. If there are multiple columns and they contain different kinds of information, as shown in the next example, then it is a table, not a list, and the columns need to be preserved and aligned. Lists are not wrappable (the line breaks must be preserved), so enclose them in no-wrap markups and rejoin any wrapped lines.

Multi-line headings

Heading is wrappable, not a Hanging Indent, and all-caps. No markups.
