  3. Spacing for List Elements

Ordered Lists

Ordered lists (with preceding numerals, for when the order matters) are built with the ol element. You do not need to add a specific class to ordered lists.

A simple ordered list
<ol>
  <li>Wake up</li>
  <li>Put on pants</li>
  <li>Leave house</li>
</ol>
  1. Wake up
  2. Put on pants
  3. Leave house

Unordered Lists

Unordered lists (where the order is not necessarily fixed) are built with the ul element and can be given a number of list icons to visually convey a meaning.

Available list types

You can currently choose from bullet lists (list-bullet) and checklists (list-check).

Different types of unordered lists
<ul class="list-bullet">
  <li>Peanut</li>
  <li>Butter</li>
  <li>Jelly</li>
  <li>Baseball bat</li>
</ul>
  • Peanut
  • Butter
  • Jelly
  • Baseball bat
<ul class="list-check">
  <li>Brush teeth</li>
  <li>Have hot beverage of choice</li>
  <li>Remember to put pants on</li>
</ul>
  • Brush teeth
  • Have hot beverage of choice
  • Remember to put pants on

Spacing for List Elements

Often, list items should be spaced a bit more generously than block text. By default, list items follow each other directly, with only line height as a separator.

There are some shorthand classes that you can use to apply whitespace between all of a list's items without appending a margin class to each individual item.

These shorthand classes are list-spacing-*, with “*” being “xs” through “xl” (e.g. list-spacing-s).
All values correspond to the standard margin classes (i.e. list-spacing-xs has the same value as margin-bottom-xs).

Lists with different vertical spacings
<ul class="list-check list-spacing-xs">
  <li>Peanut</li>
  <li>Butter</li>
  <li>Jelly</li>
</ul>
  • Peanut
  • Butter
  • Jelly
<ul class="list-check list-spacing">
  <li>Base</li>
  <li>Ball</li>
  <li>Bat</li>
</ul>
  • Base
  • Ball
  • Bat
