Why use lists?


Lists are an important way of structuring information on a web page. When assistive technology encounters a properly formatted list it can dramatically improve the experience of reading that information. It will improve the ability of a user to navigate the information. If a long list of items is formatted only with line breaks or commas, it becomes more difficult to understand and navigate.

Additionally lists can enhance the presentation of information for all users and are generally much more readable than the alternatives. Care should be taken when selecting choosing between ordered and unordered lists. Only use an ordered list if it is required to express that the list is in a specific order.

Instructions (adding a list)

  • Navigate to the content section located in a column.
  • Select either a "Bulleted List" or a "Numbered List".
  • You can now type out the text you want in the first list item.
  • Pressing the "Enter" key on your keyboard will create a new list item on the following line.
  • To end a list you can press the "Enter" key twice and you will now be able to add any other content to the section.
  • Preview your draft and submit your changes.
