When using the "odd" and "even" feature in Webflow to style list items, you may want to structure the children of the list items in a specific way. Here's how you can achieve this:

  1. Add a parent element to your list item: In order to structure the children of each list item, you will first need to add a parent element. This parent element will contain all the child elements that you want to style differently based on whether they are odd or even.

  2. Style the parent element: Select the parent element and apply any desired styling. This could include background colors, borders, padding, or any other visual treatment you want to apply to the entire parent element.

  3. Style the odd children: With the parent element selected, navigate to the "Selector" dropdown in the Styles panel and choose the "Odd" option. This will target all the child elements within each odd list item.

  4. Apply styling to the odd children: Modify the styles for the odd children to differentiate them from the even children. You can change the background color, font color, margins, or any other property to achieve the desired effect.

  5. Style the even children: Follow the same steps as above to target the even child elements within each list item. Navigate to the "Selector" dropdown and select the "Even" option.

  6. Apply styling to the even children: Adjust the styles for the even children to visually distinguish them from the odd children. This could involve using different colors, fonts, or spacing.

By following these steps, you can structure the children of list items in Webflow while using the "odd" and "even" feature to style the list items. This allows you to create visually interesting and cohesive designs for your lists.
