Lists

Lists group related items so they are easier to read and scan.

Plain list

Lists are plain by default (no markers and no indent), which suits lists of links or rows, like a list of government services. Bulleted and numbered variants opt back into markers with a hanging indent.

When to use lists

Use a list to group related items, such as documents to bring, steps to follow, or links to services. The plain list works well for navigation-style lists of links; the bulleted and numbered variants suit items within body text.

When not to use lists

Do not use a list for key/value information such as a user's answers. Use a summary list instead. Do not use it for data that users need to compare across columns. Use a table instead.

Bulleted and numbered lists

Use the --bullet modifier for an unordered set of items, and the --number modifier (on an <ol>) when the order matters, such as the steps in a process.
