Examples

Example: <ul> with nested <li>

<ul> renders an unordered list, with list items given by <li> children. <ul> is a block component and should not contain any components other than <li> children. Individual <li> children may themselves contain graphs, problems, paragraphs, and other content.


Example: <ul> with more content

<ul> components can only take <li> children. Individual <li> children may themselves contain graphs, problems, paragraphs, and other content.

Attribute Examples

Attribute Example: marker

The marker attribute sets the bullet style for the list items. For an unordered list the valid values are disc, circle, and square; any other value is ignored and the level-based default is used instead. If unspecified, the bullet is determined by the list’s level.


Attribute Example: level

The level attribute sets the (1-based) nesting level of the list, which determines the default bullet: level 1 renders a disc, level 2 a circle, and level 3 a square, cycling for deeper levels. When a <ul> is nested inside another list, its level is computed automatically, so this attribute is typically only set to override that default.
