Ordered and un-ordered lists are a very common way of presenting information. To add a list to an article.

1. Open the Article for editing either by:
   • Click the Content > Article Manager menu item to go to the Article Manager, select the Article and click the Edit toolbar button.
   • Clicking the Add New Article button in the Control Panel.
   • If logged in to the Front-end, you have appropriate permissions and are viewing the Article you wish to edit: Click the Edit toolbar button.
2. Locate the position in the article where you want to insert a list with the cursor.
3. Choose either the Ordered list or Unordered list editor toolbar button.
   • The default ordered list begins with the numeral 1. and the unordered list starts with a bullet point.
4. Type enter to create a new line and number/bullet.
5. Type enter twice to finish the list or start a new line and click the Ordered List or Unordered List editor toolbar button.

Note the following:

• Change the list type part way through by clicking the alternate button.
• If you create a new ordered list later in your article the numbering will restart from 1.
• Use the Indent and Outdent editor toolbar buttons to create child lists. You may change the type of the child list by clicking the alternate button.
