List layouts

List items can in general be more complex (contain more elements) than grid items. Certain layout rules apply to all lists:

￿￿All items in a list have equal height on screen. (Forms do not follow this rule in edit state; see section Forms.)

￿￿The column structure of all items in a list must be similar. It is not possible to combine e.g. single-column items to a three-column item list. (But it is possible to use some different item types having the same general appearance.) See the following section about columns.
