    public class ListItem

extends Paragraph

A `ListItem` is a `Paragraph` that can be added to a `List`.

Example 1:

>      List list = new List(true, 20);
>      list.add(new ListItem("First line"));
>      list.add(new ListItem("The second line is longer to see what happens once the end of the line is reached. Will it start on a new line?"));
>      list.add(new ListItem("Third line"));

The result of this code looks like this:

1. First line
2. The second line is longer to see what happens once the end of the line is reached. Will it start on a new line?
3. Third line

Example 2:

>      List overview = new List(false, 10);
>      overview.add(new ListItem("This is an item"));
>      overview.add("This is another item");

The result of this code looks like this:

- This is an item
- This is another item
