143143The list methods make it very easy to use a list as a stack, where the last
144144element added is the first element retrieved ("last-in, first-out"). To add an
145- item to the top of the stack, use:meth: `~list.append `. To retrieve an item from the
146- top of the stack, use:meth: `~list.pop ` without an explicit index. For example::
145+ item to the top of the stack, use:meth: `! ~list.append
146+ top of the stack, use:meth: `! ~list.pop
