Formatting Lists
Lists should be formatted using the appropriate styles in Canvas or a word processor. This means that lists should look like this:
- Example One
- Example Two
And not this:
* Example One
* Example Two
By using appropriate styles, screen readers and other text-to-speech software can identify that something is a list and announce it to the listener, so they know that the next group of items is connected. Canvas and word processing programs all provide numerous options for formatting, so whether you want bullet points, Roman numerals, or letters, you can set up your list however you want.
