When creating content for your Knowledge Base, organizing information clearly is essential. The Helpjuice article editor offers several types of lists to help structure your content effectively, whether you're outlining topics, steps, or tasks. Here's an overview of the different list options available and how to use them:

Overview of List Options

Bulleted Lists

Bulleted lists are perfect for presenting topics or ideas in a simple, easy-to-read format. You can choose from the following bullet styles:

Disc:

• Example

Square:

• Example

These options allow you to customize the appearance of your list to suit your content style.

Numbered Lists

If you need to organize steps or instructions, numbered lists are the way to go. The editor provides several numbering formats:

• Decimal (1, 2, 3)
• Decimal with Leading Zero (01, 02, 03)
• Lower Roman (i, ii, iii)
• Upper Roman (I, II, III)
• Lower Latin (a, b, c)
• Upper Latin (A, B, C)

These formats help you clearly convey a sequence of steps or rank information in a structured way.

To-Do Lists

For action items or tasks that need to be completed, the to-do list option is the best fit. This list type allows you to create actionable lists where each item can be checked off once completed. This is especially useful for tracking pending tasks or assignments within your articles. However, please note that to-do lists can only be managed in the article editor and will not be interactive for users on the frontend.

How to Use Lists

You can create lists in two simple ways:

Using the Editor Toolbar

• Click the list button in the toolbar.
• Choose between a bulleted list or a numbered list.
• Start typing, and each new line will automatically format as part of the list.

Typing Directly in the Article Body

• Begin your line with a number followed by a period (e.g., 1.) for a numbered list.
• Use a dash (-) or asterisk (*) for a bulleted list.
• The editor will automatically convert your input into the appropriate list format.

Both methods allow you to seamlessly create and structure lists, saving you time while maintaining a polished appearance.

How to Create Multi-Level Lists

Easily structure your lists with multiple levels to organize content hierarchically.

1. Indent to create a new level: Press the Tab key to move an item to the next level.
2. Return to a previous level: Press the Enter key to finish the current item and move back to the previous level.
3. Customize the list style: Use the editor toolbar to change the bullet or numbering style for any level as needed.

Multi-level lists are perfect for breaking down information into clear, manageable steps or categories.

When to Use These Lists

• Bulleted Lists: Great for listing topics or points of discussion.
• Numbered Lists: Ideal for step-by-step guides, instructions, or ranking items.
• To-Do Lists: Perfect for tracking actionables and marking tasks as complete.

By using the appropriate list type in your articles, you can ensure your content is easy to follow and well-organized, improving the overall readability and user experience of your Knowledge Base.
