Yes, it is possible to remove the

  • tag altogether in Webflow to improve accessibility for screen readers. However, it is important to note that removing the
  • tag may have an impact on the structure and styling of your content, so it should be done carefully and with consideration for the overall user experience.

    • Here is a step-by-step guide on how to remove the

  • tag in Webflow:

    1. In the Webflow Designer, select the element that contains the
    2. tag.
    3. Go to the Settings Panel on the right side of the Designer interface.
    4. Click on the "Element Settings" tab.
    5. Under the "Tag" field, change the current value (e.g., "li") to the desired tag (e.g., "div").
    6. Press Enter or click outside the field to apply the change.

    By changing the tag from

  • to another tag like
    , you effectively remove the
  • tag from the HTML structure, which can improve accessibility for screen readers. However, it is important to note that this change may affect the styling and functionality of your content, so you'll need to update your CSS and any related interactions accordingly.

    • Additionally, if you're using dynamic content or interacting with dynamic lists, removing the

  • tag may have implications for the functioning of those features, so it's important to test and ensure everything works as intended after making this change.

    • In summary, removing the

  • tag in Webflow can improve accessibility for screen readers, but it should be done with caution and consideration for the impact it may have on your design and functionality.
