Text List
A styled list component that renders as a bulleted list, a numbered list, or an inline flex row. Accepts diwa-text-list-item children.
Keyboard interaction
diwa-text-list is a non-interactive display component. It receives no keyboard focus.
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| — | No keyboard interaction. diwa-text-list is a display-only element. |
Screen reader behaviour
| Attribute / Property | Value / Behaviour |
|---|---|
Rendered tag | unordered and inline → <ul> (role="list"). ordered → <ol> (role="list"). Both are correctly announced by screen readers as lists with the appropriate item count. |
Items as <li> | Each diwa-text-list-item renders with display: list-item, which browsers expose as a list item to the accessibility tree (role="listitem"). |
WCAG 2.2 compliance
1.3.1 Info and Relationships — APass
Semantic ul/ol/li structure conveys list relationships to assistive technologies. Ordered and unordered types are announced correctly by screen readers.
1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum) — AAPass
List item text inherits the --diwa-text-primary colour token, meeting the 4.5:1 ratio against background colours in both themes.
1.4.4 Resize Text — AAPass
Font sizes are defined in rem units. Text scales correctly when the browser base font size is increased to 200%.
2.1.1 Keyboard — APass
The component is non-interactive and does not interfere with keyboard navigation. Any interactive children follow their own keyboard patterns.
4.1.1 Parsing — APass
The shadow DOM renders valid list markup without duplicate IDs or invalid element nesting.
Best practices
- Screen reader announcement — Screen readers typically announce lists as "X items" or "list of X items". Ensure each item is concise and self-descriptive without surrounding prose.
- Inline lists — The
inlinetype visually hides the list markers but retains the semanticul/listructure. Screen readers will still announce the item count. - Nesting — If nesting lists, ensure the outer component is a valid container for inner lists. Only place a nested
diwa-text-listinside adiwa-text-list-itemto maintain valid HTML structure.
