function theme_item_list

Returns HTML for a list or nested list of items.

Parameters

$variables: An associative array containing:

• items: A list of items to render. String values are rendered as is. Each item can also be an associative array containing:
  • data: The string content of the list item.
  • children: A list of nested child items to render that behave identically to 'items', but any non-numeric string keys are treated as HTML attributes for the child list that wraps 'children'.

  Any other key/value pairs are used as HTML attributes for the list item in 'data'.

• title: The title of the list.
• type: The type of list to return (e.g. "ul", "ol").
• attributes: The attributes applied to the list element.
