# Lists

Turn text into numbered, bulleted, tick, cross or warning lists.

Lists break a long passage into points a visitor can scan. The inline editor offers five styles, including tick, cross and warning markers for do-and-don't guidance.

## Add a list

1. Select the lines you want to turn into a list. Each line becomes one item.
2. Select **List** in the toolbar.
3. Choose a style from the menu.

The style currently applied to your selection is ticked. Choosing it again turns the list back into plain paragraphs.

## The five styles

| Style             | Marker         | Use it for                              |
| ----------------- | -------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| **Numbered list** | 1, 2, 3        | Steps that happen in order.             |
| **Bulleted list** | Dot            | Points with no particular order.        |
| **Tick list**     | Green tick     | What's included, or what you recommend. |
| **Cross list**    | Red cross      | What isn't included, or what to avoid.  |
| **Warning list**  | Amber triangle | Caveats and things to watch out for.    |

Tick and cross lists work well side by side, a do-and-don't pair in two columns, for example.

## Leave a list

Press **Enter** on an empty list item. The empty item becomes a normal paragraph and the list ends.

{% hint style="info" %}
Lists are available on paragraph text, not on headings. Change the text level to a paragraph if the **List** button isn't there.
{% endhint %}
