I like ms better in general, but this is all its manpage has to say
about lists:
--------------------
Lists
The IP macro handles duties for all lists. Its syntax is as
follows:
.IP [marker [width]]
The marker is usually a bullet character \(bu for
unordered lists, a number (or auto-incrementing num‐ ber register)
for numbered lists, or a word or phrase for indented (glossary-style)
lists.
The width specifies the indent for the body of each
list item. Once specified, the indent remains the same for all list
items in the document until specified again.
--------------------
That's exactly all. Not even how to make a list item, how to end a
list, or if ot is possible to nest them. For practical purposes lists
are non-existent in ms.

OK, I got so far as well, but there must be a proper way to get rid
of pagination. I mean, man pages are not paginated, but I couldn't
get my head around the man tmac code to find out how they turn it
off.

Yeah, found that by now. Thanks.
