Problem Being Solved

Content needs to be grouped and displayed in a way that shows a series of steps or a progression.

When to Use

It can be used when the user needs to understand there are several steps in a process. A short description of each step can be displayed. A more detailed description can be linked to.

When Not to Use

It should not be used to display non-sequential content or long text.

Formatting

  • If instead of regular numbers you would like to use upper/lower roman numerals or regular letters, please add one of the following classes the ordered or unordered list:
    • class="...upper-roman ..."
    • class="...lower-roman ..."
    • class="...upper-latin ..."
    • class="...lower-latin ..."
