In a certain section, I have a list field type that is set up as a checkbox (multi-value). This is to check of certain amenities that a vehicle in our fleet has, so it may have just a few or many. Using the code generated automatically, the list displays in the browser as comma separated values on a single line.

<?php echo join(', ', getListLabels('limousinefleet', 'amenities', $limousinefleetRecord['amenities'])); ?>

I want the list to display in the browser much the way it appears in the section editor, as a single, vertical column with a checked checkbox icon in front of it. Ideally, I'd like it to be similar to an unordered list, so I have control over list-style-type, etc, but it isn't as simple as just using an unordered list (I don't think) because it's just one record.

Any thoughts/suggestions?

See if this works for your list:

<ul>
<?php $vehicleList = getListLabels('limousinefleet', 'amenities', $limousinefleetRecord['amenities']) ?>
	<?php foreach($vehicleList as $vehicleListed): ?>
		<?php if ($limousinefleetRecord['amenities']): ?>
			<li><?php echo htmlspecialchars($vehicleListed) ?></li>
		<?php endif ?>
	<?php endforeach ?>
</ul>

Thanks for the example...
I ended up playing around with it for a while longer and I was on the right track, I just didn't take it far enough. I got it working perfectly for my needs using this

        <?php $amenities =  getListLabels('limousinefleet', 'amenities', $limousinefleetRecord['amenities']);?> 
 			<ul class="amenities"><?php foreach ($amenities as $amenities): ?> 
				<li><?php echo $amenities;?></li> 
					<?php endforeach ?> </ul>
