- # print an enumerated list of strings
- # inputs:
- # name_list: list of strings (one per entry)
- # tabchar: tab character (default: none)
- # yd: indices of entries to append with the string "(discrete)"
- # (used by sysout; minimal checking of this argument)
- # yd = [] => all continuous
- # ilist: index numbers to print with names
- # default: 1:length(name_list)
- # outputs:
- # prints the list to the screen, numbering each string in order.
