+
+    This enum describes the types of markers a list item can have.
+    If a list item (a paragraph for which \l QTextBlock::textList() returns the list)
+    has a marker, it is rendered instead of the normal bullet.
+    In this way, checkable list items can be mixed with plain list items in the
+    same list, overriding the type of bullet specified by the
+    \l QTextListFormat::style() for the entire list.
+
+    \value NoMarker This is the default: the list item's bullet will be shown.
+    \value Unchecked Instead of the list item's bullet, an unchecked checkbox will be shown.
+    \value Checked Instead of the list item's bullet, a checked checkbox will be shown.
+
+    In the future, this may be extended to specify other types of paragraph
+    decorations.
