+@node New markup list command definition
+@subsection New markup list command definition
+Markup list commands are defined with the
+@code{define-markup-list-command} Scheme macro, which is similar to the
+@code{define-markup-command} macro described in
+@ref{New markup command definition}, except that where the later returns
+a single stencil, the former returns a list stencils.
+In the following example, a @code{\paragraph} markup list command is
+defined, which returns a list of justified lines, the first one being
+indented. The indent width is taken from the @code{props} argument.
+@example
+#(define-markup-list-command (paragraph layout props args) (markup-list?)
+ (let ((indent (chain-assoc-get 'par-indent props 2)))
+ (interpret-markup-list layout props
+ (make-justified-lines-markup-list (cons (make-hspace-markup indent)
+ args)))))
+@end example
+
+Besides the usual @code{layout} and @code{props} arguments, the
+@code{paragraph} markup list command takes a markup list argument, named
+@code{args}. The predicate for markup lists is @code{markup-list?}.
+
+First, the function gets the indent width, a property here named
+@code{par-indent}, from the property list @code{props} If the property
+is not found, the default value is @code{2}. Then, a list of justified
+lines is made using the @code{make-justified-lines-markup-list}
+function, which is related to the @code{\justified-lines}
+built-in markup list command. An horizontal space is added at the
+begining using the @code{make-hspace-markup} function. Finally, the
+markup list is interpreted using the @code{interpret-markup-list}
+function.
+
+This new markup list command can be used as follows:
+@example
+\markuplines @{
+ \paragraph @{
+ The art of music typography is called \italic @{(plate) engraving.@}
+ The term derives from the traditional process of music printing.
+ Just a few decades ago, sheet music was made by cutting and stamping
+ the music into a zinc or pewter plate in mirror image.
+ @}
+ \override-lines #'(par-indent . 4) \paragraph @{
+ The plate would be inked, the depressions caused by the cutting
+ and stamping would hold ink. An image was formed by pressing paper
+ to the plate. The stamping and cutting was completely done by
+ hand.
+ @}
+@}
