List

Use List to output a structured list of items with optional icons, headings, and rich content using ordered, unordered, or generic list markup.

Usage​

Use List to render a series of items as an unordered list, ordered list, or generic div-based list. Each advanced item can include an icon, a heading, and rich content, with control over icon placement, heading and content tags, and the markers used for ordered or unordered lists. A simpler basic mode accepts one entry per line for quick lists without per-item formatting.

Use List for feature lists, step summaries, service breakdowns, key takeaways, and any layout that needs more structure than a plain WYSIWYG list. The module suits both content-heavy lists with headings and supporting copy as well as compact bullet or numbered lists styled inside Beaver Builder.

Module Settings​

The List module settings control how list items are sourced and rendered, the list and item markup, and the appearance of the list, icons, headings, content, and item separators.

General Tab​

The General tab sets the list layout, the items themselves, the list type and icons, and the HTML tags used for item headings and content.
