Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this also in Divi, Elementor, other PageBuilder or the Classic Editor?

No, the plugin is intended solely for Block Editor aka Gutenberg and always will be.

Can I use other blocks between the list items, e.g. for a description text?

Yes, as follows: enter the desired content between the individual list blocks. The list blocks will now all begin with “1”. For the 2nd list block, enter the number 2 in the “Initial value” field. This will update the view in the block accordingly. Now enter “3” in the next list block, etc.

Can I use different list-styles in one list?

Yes, you could set different list-styles for each list.

Can I use other icons as list points?

Yes, since version 2.0.0 you can use Bootstrap-, Dash- or FontAwesome-icons on each list.
