Description

w:lvlText defines the label text pattern for a list level. It is defined in ECMA-376 Part 1 §17.9.11.

The w:val string can contain literal text and level-number placeholders in the form %n, where n is a 1-based level index. For example, %1.%2. would render as 1.1. for the second level of an outline. For bullet lists, w:val typically contains the bullet character directly.

Attributes
