Lists

Lists

Content organized as a list should be created using the list controls that are provided in document authoring software. Most authoring tools provide one or more controls for adding bulleted or numbered lists. When lists are explicitly created as lists, this helps screen readers understand how the content is organized. When screen reader users enter a list, their screen reader informs them that they’re on a list and may also inform them of how many items are in the list.
