+* Show an inventory list if it has been sent to the client.
+* If the inventory list changes (eg. it didn't exist before, it's resized, or its items
+ are moved) while the formspec is open, the formspec element may (but is not guaranteed
+ to) adapt to the new inventory list.
+* Item slots are drawn in a grid from left to right, then up to down, ordered
+ according to the slot index.
+* `W` and `H` are in inventory slots, not in coordinates.
+* `starting item index` (Optional): The index of the first (upper-left) item to draw.
+ Indices start at `0`. Default is `0`.
+* The number of shown slots is the minimum of `W*H` and the inventory list's size minus
+ `starting item index`.
* **Note**: With the new coordinate system, the spacing between inventory
slots is one-fourth the size of an inventory slot by default. Also see
[Styling Formspecs] for changing the size of slots and spacing.
