Create a List or Procedure

You can add procedures and different types of lists to your topics. The most commonly used Types of Lists are available under the Edit tab in the Toolbar.

  • Unordered list also known as a bullet list.

  • Ordered list also known as numbered list or itemized list. Do not confuse it with a procedure, see Types of Lists.

  • Procedure used for step-by-step instructions.

  • Checklist used for To-Do lists with checkboxes.

For other types of lists, use the Element Context Menu to add the appropriate list element, for example, variablelist or qandaset. To access the element context menu, press Alt + Enter ⏎ (Windows) or Command ⌘ + Enter ⏎ (Mac).
