\item{.close}{Whether to close the list container if the \code{items} were
specified. If \code{FALSE} then new items can be added to the list.}

\item{.auto_close}{Whether to close the container, when the calling
function finishes (or \code{.envir} is removed, if specified).}

\item{.envir}{Environment to evaluate the glue expressions in. It is
also used to auto-close the container if \code{.auto_close} is \code{TRUE}.}

\examples{
## Specifying the items at the beginning
cli_dl(c(foo = "one", bar = "two", baz = "three"))

cli_li(c(foo = "one"))
cli_li(c(bar = "two"))
cli_li(c(baz = "three"))
cli_end()
