Sentence Diagram
How do I diagram a list that follows a colon? It is not a clause, as it has no predicate. It is simply two noun phrases joined by "and". Here is the sentence: Only two knots are requires for most fly-fishing situations: a knot for tying on the fly and a knot for joining monofiliment. I have the sentence diagrammed up until the colon, then I am lost.

A would diagram the two knots as if they were an appositive of the subject, each on its own line, one above the other, the lines joined by a dotted line on which the coordinating conjunction is written, and all of it within parentheses. --David Huttner
