Simple List

The simple list is the most commonly used snippet. The goal of this snippet is to present a list of items that may or may not link to other content and may or may not include images. Simple lists and callouts can be used on the same page.

Pro Tip

Adding Rows

To add additional rows to the snippet, place the cursor inside the snippet table and select Row->Insert Row After or Row->Insert Row Before.  To delete rows, place the cursor inside the snippet table and select  Row->Delete Row.

Pro Tip

Simple Lists

Simple lists allow only one paragraph of text and one link.  The link is optional. Any styling or inline links within the description will automatically be stripped out and run together as one paragraph.  If inline links and styling are needed in the description, use a multipurpose list with no buttons instead.
