Webflow's rich text element now supports hierarchical ordered <ol> and unordered <ul> item lists. Many also think of this as nesting or indendation, but don't confuse this with nested collection lists which is a different topic.

As you're creating the list, simply hit TAB at the start of a line to indent it, or SHIFT-TAB or BACKSPACE to outdent it.

Limitations

Note that currently there are;

  • No facility to control the bullets directly within a nested list
  • No facility to nest OL and UL lists within each other

Both of these can be supported through custom CSS.
