Well - it's not in the docs, since it depends on the TS template you are
using.
If you want to find the connections between the different parts of such a
template you should use the TypoScript object browser (TSOB) which is part
of the template section in the BE. You can select it from the box at the
upper right corner of the template editing screen and it will show you the
whole TS setup as a nice interactive tree.

You can see i.e. the different parts of tt_content and by expanding
tt_content and it's children you find out that tt_content.list contains lots
of plugins all packed into one CASE element.

Now the rest can be found with TSref ...

This is how I learned the stuff a few years ago.
