# List – Design

> Lists display ordered or unordered content with consistent typography and spacing.

## Anatomy

The List consists of two primary elements that work together to present content in a structured format.

1. **List container** – The wrapper that renders as either an unordered list (`ul`) or ordered list (`ol`), applying typography and spacing from the design system.
2. **List item** – Individual items within the list, rendered as `li` elements.

## Options

The List supports the following configurations to accommodate various content and layout scenarios.

### Variant

Lists can be unordered (bullets) or ordered (numbers). Use unordered lists for items without sequence; use ordered lists for steps, rankings, or sequence-dependent content.

<LiveCode example="list-design-variant" screenshot fullWidth />

| Variant   | Use case                            |
| --------- | ----------------------------------- |
| Unordered | Bullet points, non-sequential items |
| Ordered   | Steps, rankings, numbered items     |

### Size

Typography size aligns with the design system paragraph scale. Size affects readability and hierarchy when lists appear alongside other content.

<LiveCode example="list-design-size" screenshot fullWidth />

| Size   | Description                    |
| ------ | ------------------------------ |
| Small  | Compact content or dense UIs   |
| Medium | Default body size              |
| Large  | Emphasis or larger text blocks |

### Nesting

Lists support nesting. Place a List inside a List item to create sub-lists (for example, an ordered sub-list inside an unordered parent).

<LiveCode example="list-nested" screenshot fullWidth />

## Behavior

The List responds to the chosen variant and size without interactive states. It renders semantic HTML so screen readers announce list structure and item count correctly.

## Usage Guidelines

Use the List when presenting content as a series of items that benefit from list semantics and design system styling.

### When to Use

* Displaying bullet points or numbered steps in body content.
* Outlining options, features, or requirements.
* Showing sequential instructions or ordered criteria.
* Grouping related items with clear visual hierarchy.

### When not to use

* **Selectable options** – Use [Listbox](/docs/web/components/listbox/design) or [Menu](/docs/web/components/menu/design) for user selection.
* **Data grids or tables** – Use [ListView](/docs/web/components/list-view/design) or [Data Table](/docs/web/components/data-table/design) for tabular or multi-column data.

### How to Use

Use `List` with `List.Item` for each entry. Set `variant="ordered"` for numbered lists; omit it or set `variant="unordered"` for bullet lists.

<LiveCode example="list-design-do" screenshot fullWidth />

<Check>**Do**</Check>

Use List for presentational lists with correct semantic markup.

<Danger>**Don't**</Danger>

Don't use List for interactive selection; use [Listbox](/docs/web/components/listbox/design) or [Menu](/docs/web/components/menu/design) instead.

## Content

Content within each List item should be concise and scannable. Keep items parallel in structure where possible. For ordered lists, use clear step or sequence language.

## Keyboard Interaction

Users can navigate the List using standard keyboard controls. Lists are not focusable as a single widget; focus moves through interactive elements inside items if present. Semantic list markup supports screen reader navigation (e.g., list length and position announcements).
