Day 24: Using built-in lists

Overview:

Instead of manually creating lists with a hyphen or number, use the built-in list feature of the program you're using. There are two kinds of lists; ordered (numbered) and unordered (bulleted).

Ordered lists:

1. Begin with a number
2. Indicate an order or level of importance to each item

Accessibility tip: A screen reader would read this list as, "Ordered lists, list with three items. One, begin with a number. Two, Indicate an order or level of importance to each item"

Bulleted lists 

• Begin with bullets
• Items have equal importance

Accessibility tip: A screen reader would read this list as, "Bulleted lists, list with two items. Bullet, begin with bullets Bullet, Items have equal importance"

Summary:

1. Decide which type of list is appropriate
2. If there's an order or importance to each item use a numbered list and list each item in order
3. Items are of equal importance; use a bulleted list
4. If there are multiple lists on a page, select the correct format for each list based on its contents
5. If there are multiple numbered lists, be sure to restart numbering for each new list of items>
