If you want to create a list in Webflow, but you can't find an option under the Styles panel, don't worry! There are still a few ways you can achieve this. Here's how:
- Use the HTML widget:
- Drag an HTML widget from the Add panel onto your page.
- Double-click the widget to open the HTML editor.
- In the editor, input your list items using HTML tags like
<ul>
for an unordered list or<ol>
for an ordered list, and<li>
for each list item. - Customize your list using CSS properties such as
list-style-type
,margin
, andpadding
. - Save and close the HTML editor, and you'll see your list on the page.
- Style existing text elements:
- Instead of using a dedicated list element, you can use other text elements like paragraphs or headings to create a visually styled list.
- Select the text element that you want to transform into a list item.
- Go to the Typography section of the Styles panel.
- Adjust the CSS properties such as
display
to "list-item",list-style-type
to "disc", "circle", or "square",margin
, andpadding
to achieve the desired list style. - Repeat these steps for each list item.
- Use a custom code solution:
- If you're comfortable with coding, you can write custom CSS or JavaScript to create and style your list.
- Add a Code Block element to your page from the Add panel.
- Input your custom CSS or JavaScript code inside the Code Block.
- Use HTML tags like
<ul>
,<ol>
, and<li>
to create your list in the code. - Style the list using CSS properties or manipulate it using JavaScript.
- Preview your page to see the list in action.
Remember, while these alternatives can help you create a list in Webflow without a dedicated option under the Styles panel, it's a good practice to use semantic HTML elements whenever possible for better accessibility and SEO benefits.
