Lists

Lists help structure information clearly in technical writing.

Ordered list

Use ordered lists when the sequence of items matters, such as step-by-step instructions.

  1. Install dependencies using npm install
  2. Build the project with npm run build
  3. Deploy the build folder to the server

Unordered list

Use unordered lists for related items without a specific order, such as software features.

Nested list

Use to show relationships between items, such as categories and subcategories.

Note

The Tailwind CSS Typography example notes that "nested lists are rarely a good idea." This suggests that we might not need to sacrifice readability by using nested lists to indicate hierarchy.
