# List

The List component creates an editable ordered or unordered list. It provides direct control over the number of items, marker style, spacing, and text appearance.

### How to Use List

You’ll find List under **Content** in the Components list.

1. Drag **List** onto the page.
2. Choose Ordered or Unordered.
3. Set the number of items.
4. Edit the list text directly on the page.
5. Style the markers, spacing, and item text.

### Component Settings

#### List

**Type**

* **Unordered** — Creates a bulleted list. This is the default.
* **Ordered** — Creates a numbered list.

**Items** sets the number of editable list entries and defaults to 3.

**List Style Type** chooses None, Disc, Decimal, Circle, Square, Lower Alpha, Upper Alpha, Lower Roman, or Upper Roman. The default is Disc.

**Size** sets the marker size and defaults to 16.

**Position**

* **Inside** — Places markers inside the text block.
* **Outside** — Places markers outside the text block. This is the default.

**Marker Color** defaults to Text 50.

**Gap** sets space between items and defaults to theme spacing 2. **Padding** sets the inner spacing of each item and defaults to 0 on every side.

#### Item Text

Set the item text colour, opacity, font, size, weight, letter spacing, line height, case, italic, underline, and other available text styles.

### Accessibility

Choose Ordered when sequence matters and Unordered when it does not. Do not imitate a list with separate Text components, because the List component provides meaningful structure for assistive technologies.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.realmacsoftware.com/elements-docs/using-elements/components/data-and-organisation/list.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
