Lists
If you want to display lists in a way that is more visually distinctive than the
standard <ol> and <ul>, we have 7 list styles at your disposal.
Default
Use the class .p-list for a list without bullets and more spacing between
items than the basic lists.
Nested Count
If you want nested ordered lists to have numbers based on their parents, you can add the class p-list--nested-counter to the ordered list element.
Status
Add the .is-ticked or .is-crossed classes to each list item to display tick/cross icons.
Horizontal divider
Use the class .p-list--divided to add horizontal lines between the items.
Ticked with horizontal divider
You can combine both .is-ticked and .p-list--divided to style a
list with horizontal dividers and tick icons.
Inline
Apply the class .p-inline-list to display all the list items in one line.
Middot
Apply the class .p-inline-list--middot to add a middot character between
inline list items.
The utility class .is-dark can also be applied to a middot list:
Inline stretched
Apply the class .p-inline-list--stretch to stretch the list items to fill the full width of the parent container.
You can use the align utilities to align the content of individual items.
Vertical stepped
If you want to display a list of items that form a set of steps — like a
tutorial or instructions — you can use the class .p-stepped-list.
When the steps don't have headings use <p> paragraph as .p-stepped-list__title.
Horizontal stepped
The stepped list should be used for step by step instructions. This pattern is best
used on a .p-strip--light as the description sections are displayed in a white
box.
Split
If you wish to split the items in a list into two columns above $breakpoint-small, you can do so by adding the class is-split to the list element.

Import
To import list patterns into your project, copy the snippet below and include it in your main Sass file.
// import Vanilla and include base mixins
// this only needs to happen once in a given project
@import '../vanilla';
@include vf-base;
@include vf-p-lists;
To include individual list patterns you need to include the vf-p-list-placeholders mixin first.
// import Vanilla and include base mixins
// this only needs to happen once in a given project
@import 'vanilla-framework';
@include vf-base;
@include vf-p-list-placeholders;
// choose individual list patterns to include
@include vf-p-list;
@include vf-p-list-divided;
@include vf-p-list-item-state;
