An unordered list is a way to present a set of items with no implied order. Common features:
- Bulleted format (•, –, or other symbols) instead of numbers.
- Used for grouping related items, characteristics, options, or examples.
- Each item should be short and parallel in form.
- Good for readability when sequence or priority doesn’t matter.
When to use:
- Listing features, benefits, or attributes.
- Presenting non-sequential steps or options.
- Displaying examples or items of equal weight.
Accessibility tips:
- Use semantic list markup (HTML
- with
- elements) so screen readers announce it as a list.
- Keep items concise and avoid nesting deeply.
- Provide a brief introductory sentence if context helps.
Formatting tips:
- Start each item with a consistent grammatical structure.
- Use bullets for unordered lists; reserve numbers for ordered lists.
