Good job so far @madalingorbanescu! I took a fresh look, and below is my review:
Ordered list
Start value
and Reverse list numbering
block optionsList indentation
<ul>
so that the list is visually linked to the parent list, not the list below. For this, I suggest removing the space between list items of an indented list (or at least halved), so the top margin of the indented <ul>
always remain larger than the spacing of its <li>
(see screenshot)Here is a recording of the content that I used for testing:
And here is a gist with the sample content: https://gist.github.com/georgeolaru/955ae4d85ac812528e46e410ffc65be3
I am going to close this issue now, and continue here.
A list of items is a fundamental practice on every page content as it's used to organize information for users. There are a large variety of list styles being used: from the basic bulleted list of paragraphs to the checkmark list for pricing table characteristics.
Beware of the styling fallacy: Doing the research on how other tools are providing customizations for the lists, I often notice that there are numerous options available (eg. solid or dashed dividers, icons choices, borders to simulate a table) and most of them doesn’t signify any purpose of the user. An example of purpose would be that the ordered list could be used to describe a sequence between list items like a food recipe.
Here I will cover some real-life examples that we can examine to identify the intention and use them as references.
The Lists Styles System
To add another stone to our design system, I suggest creating a list system which is intentional and purposeful.
Some guidelines below:
