# `<booklist>`

The `<booklist>` element is a general purpose element, designed for use in specializations, that references a topic or map containing a list of items within the book. For example, it could be used to reference a topic that contains a list of authors for the book. When a more specific element is already available, such as `<tablelist>` for a list of tables, that element should be used instead.
