An unordered list is a way to present a group of related items without implying order or priority. Key points:
- Purpose: show items where sequence doesn’t matter (features, options, examples).
- Visuals: typically displayed with bullets (•, ◦, ‣) rather than numbers.
- Usage contexts: documents, web pages (HTML), markdown, slides, notes.
- Accessibility: use semantic list elements (e.g.,
- and
- in HTML) so assistive tech recognizes them.
- Nesting: lists can be nested to show subitems; keep nesting shallow for readability.
- Styling: bullets, spacing, and indentation can be adjusted for emphasis or hierarchy.
- When not to use: avoid unordered lists when order matters—use ordered lists instead.
Short example (Markdown):
- Item one
- Item two
- Item three
