[Corpora-List] Methods for detecting lists?

[Paul Kalmar]

I am working on a problem and would like to be able to detect and parse
lists in plain text.  Is there any program/algorithm/research/heuristic for
detecting lists in raw (and structured) text?  I have tried simplistic
things like looking for commas and "and", but would like a more robust
approach that could also detect lists in other forms with possibly
extraneous text within.  I would be grateful for any pointers you could give
me.
Thanks,
Paul Kalmar
