Creating Lists and Links with DesignPLUS

Anchor
List
List

You have the ability to customize the look of the lists and links that are in a content block. Whether your lists are ordered (numbered) lists or unordered (bulleted), you have the opportunity to manage how these lists are displayed. Your links to external and internal resources can also be styled in various ways using buttons. This article provides guidance on features that allow you to make the following modifications:


Displaying Existing Lists

If you have existing pages that have lists, you may want to modify them using the DesignPLUS tools. These tools help you reorder the items in a list and change the indentation or nesting of the items in the list. To make modifications to your lists or links, you will need to make sure the DesignPLUS Sidebar is open.

Place your cursor in one of the list items in your content block; A new element will appear in the Edit tab (target) of the Sidebar based on the type of list you have (Unordered vs Ordered); and your list will appear under the content panel.
