Unordered list

An unordered list is a way to present a group of related items without implying sequence or priority. Items are typically marked with bullets, dots, or other symbols.

When to use

  • When order doesn’t matter (features, ingredients, examples).
  • To make short, scannable groups of items.
  • For checklist-style displays where sequence isn’t required.

Formatting (common syntaxes)

  • Plain text: use bullets or dashes
    • item one
    • item two
  • Markdown:
    • item one
    • item two
  • HTML:
    html
    <ul><li>Item one</li>  <li>Item two</li></ul>
  • LaTeX:
    latex
    \begin{itemize}  \item Item one  \item Item two\end{itemize}

Best practices

  • Keep items parallel in structure.
  • Use short phrases or single sentences.
  • Avoid nesting too deeply—limit to 1–2 levels.
  • Use bullets for unordered lists and numbers for ordered steps.
