Sorry for the late reply - I didn't see it as I wasn't on the recipients list!

Bravura sounds like a good idea, except that I'm trying to work out how to get it. It seems that I have to download something (but the readme file doesn't exactly say what) from github and then install it using a proprietary installer which I've had to search for. Not very good marketing here!

I may try to use \markuplist instead, but that raises further issues - for another mailing list request for help.

Thanks for the help.
