Bullet point lists

The Bullet point list component is a way to break up large chunks of text into small chunks that are easy to scan.

When not to use

If you have more than ten bullet points consider another strategy to break up content further.

Default unordered list

  • This is a list.
  • Structurally, it's still a list.
  • Nested lists:
    • This is the nested list content
    • Still showing a bullet
    • And has appropriate left margin
  • This may still come in handy in some situations.
HTML
<ul>
  <li>This is a list.</li>
  <li>Structurally, it's still a list.</li>
  <li>Nested lists:
    <ul>
      <li>This is the nested list content</li>
      <li>Still showing a bullet</li>
      <li>And has appropriate left margin</li>
    </ul>
  </li>
  <li>This may still come in handy in some situations.</li>
</ul>

Unordered list with square bullets

  • This is a list with square bullets.
  • Structurally, it's still a list.
  • Nested lists:
    • This is the nested list content
    • Still showing a bullet
    • And has appropriate left margin
  • This may still come in handy in some situations.
