Accessible Canvas: Lists

Lists provide a structured order to a group of connected or sequential content. A numbered or bulleted list may present the same information more effectively than simple data tables with fewer steps.

• Highlight the grouped text.
• In the rich content editor, select the appropriate list style (bullet or number list).

Formatting guidelines

• Remove any lists created manually, such as those using dashes, asterisk, or other symbol characters.
• Avoid using indentation to provide a visual list in lieu of the list style button.
• Numbered lists are used to present a group of items (words, phrases, sentences) that follow a sequence.
• Bulleted lists are used for a group of items without a sequence.
• Lists should contain at least two or more list items, unless being used to create an outline.
• Nested lists are acceptable, such as a numbered list that contains a nested bulleted list.
