Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The code has been totally rewritten.
Improvements:
* You may now have as many counters and levels as you
like (up to TeX's limitation)
* Several new parameters:
- Hanging of the item text from its counter
- Alignment of items with counters of different
sizes
- Progressive indentation of the list
- Vertical space between items
- Space between counters and items
- Hidden counters, e.g. a) instead of 2.1.a)
- Embedding of counters in a command
- Zapf's Dingbats available to denote numbers
* Predefined styles
* Referring to item's with LaTeX's \label and \ref
* \NewList or \NewList(key=value...) to get rid of
previous parameters and create new ones
* The keyval package is not required anymore
* The environment have been (somewhat sensibly)
renamed 'easylist'
* Various modifications (the documentation have been
revised accordingly)
