To style the bullets and numbers of lists in a Rich Text Element using Webflow, follow these steps:

  1. Select the Rich Text Element: Double click on the Rich Text Element you want to style to open its settings.

  2. Go to the Style tab: In the top navigation bar of the Designer, click on the "Style" tab to access the styling options for the Rich Text Element.

  3. Choose the list type: Under the "List" section in the left sidebar, you will find options to style both ordered and unordered lists. Select the appropriate list type based on your content.

  4. Style the list item: In the right sidebar, you will find various styling options for the list items such as font size, color, margin, padding, etc. Adjust these settings according to your desired design.

  5. Override default styles: By default, Webflow applies its own styles to lists. To ensure your custom styles are properly displayed, you may need to override the default styles. To do this, you can use custom CSS selectors specific to the Rich Text Element and its child elements. For example, you can use the following selector to target unordered lists: .your-richtext-class ul. Replace .your-richtext-class with the appropriate class name of your Rich Text Element.

  6. Apply custom styles: Once you have overridden the default styles, you can apply your custom styles using the CSS properties provided by Webflow. For example, you can use properties like list-style-type, list-style-image, list-style-position, etc., to control the appearance of the bullets or numbers.

  7. Preview and publish: After applying your desired style changes, preview the Rich Text Element to ensure the bullets and numbers are displayed as intended. If everything looks good, publish your site to make the changes live.

By following these steps, you can style the bullets and numbers of lists in a Rich Text Element using Webflow without encountering any errors.
