Tips:

  • See: https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/H48.html would be rendered as shown in this sample
  • Not all lists require markup. For instance, a list of items in a sentence, separated by commas, do not have to be included in a bulleted or numbered list.
  • If something looks like a list, but does not have a list markup, use ANDI to check the reading order to determine if it makes sense.
  • Check if content is in a frame or iframe.
