The Big List Container and Big List Item components are designed to work seamlessly together for presenting a large and highly readable series of links. These components allow authors to easily insert, reorder, and manage links. This component excels in situations requiring the prominent display of straightforward, easy-to-scan lists.
Notably, the Big List component has been developed as a successor to these components, offering enhanced functionality and is generally recommended for most use cases.
Content Options
Big List Container components have no content fields.
Big List Item components use the following fields:
- Text: The main text that will appear for the link.
- Link Toggle: When enabled, this turns the item into a link and enables the link fields. Otherwise the item will simply appear as text.
- Link to page: The URL for the link, making the item clickable.
- Anchor: Links to a specific section or element on the page. Enter the anchor name starting with # (e.g., #my-section-id).
- Target: Choose where the link opens:
- Same window: Opens the link in the current tab or window.
- New window: Opens the link in a new tab or window.
Note Currently, Big List Item components disappear when the Link Toggle is disabled. We are looking into this.
