Re: Tables and lists

Thank you for the suggestion, unfortunately it didn't work.

I did :

yannigr@UTILISA-2DI2OG0:/mnt/d/Dropbox/Yannig/Perso/Ham/pensebete$ 
export LANG=
yannigr@UTILISA-2DI2OG0:/mnt/d/Dropbox/Yannig/Perso/Ham/pensebete$ lout 
-PDF test_case.lout > test_case.pdf

I still get :

lout file "test_case.lout":
     16,1: no @ItemPlace galley target precedes this @ItemPlace&&preceding
     18,1: no @EndListPlace galley target precedes this 
@EndListPlace&&preceding

I don't really understand the error message. How could I investigate 
further and make sense of it?
