Use individual numbers up to the 4th level. Also reversed lists (2.2, 2.1, 1.3, 1.2, 1.1 etc.), additional list-styles (like upper- and lowercase roman and alphabet) and custom icons (with Bootstrap, Dashicons or Fontawesome) are supported. ### Usage 1. Open a page where you want to use nested ordered lists. 2. Add a normal list block. 3. Choose ordered list to be able to use its list-style. 4. Check “Use nested ordered lists” on the right to enable them. ### Repository and documentation You find some documentations [here](https://github.com/threadi/nested-ordered-lists-block-editor/tree/master/docs). The development repository is on [GitHub](https://github.com/threadi/nested-ordered-lists-block-editor/). ## Screenshots * [[ * [[ * [[ * [[ ## Installation 1.

Use it straight away. ## FAQ ### 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. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/2b16fdbfd7cb0f375ae36078e9bbc1051aad31584f287517b00da88817d5cc9d? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works really well!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-really-well-267/)󠁿 [alsu53](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kkbarberacademy/) August 14, 2024 Super easy to use, works perfectly. The options didn’t appear for me at first but I updated my wordpress to the newest version and everything worked then. Also it is the only plugin that offers nested listing that didn’t break my theme. 🙂 ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0f4d5430f1711f3dbf0c1a3df64cd82f8d981bc07b9814c9f1c787743474edc8? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Needs tweaking, but it does work](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/needs-tweaking-but-it-does-work/)󠁿 [TGC5308](https://profiles.wordpress.org/tgc5308/) April 4, 2023 This is a brand new plugin, and there was nothing else I saw to fit my needs, so I downloaded it. It does what I need it to do, which is use Roman numerals. But I had to figure out how to tweak it, as it made even the second and third tiers of the list all roman numerals. Somehow I missed how and where to find the plugin. I thought it was a separate block. but it integrates with the existing list block. I figured out how to get my list to look the way I want it to look, so things are fine. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/5ce836b2fbab781062b74f7d94c726887b63700985c6406b8c4748f4aa363470? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Interessant, aber nicht reif](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/top-gefallt-mir/)󠁿 [arbeitscodex.com](https://profiles.wordpress.org/arbeitscodex/) March 14, 2023 1 reply Ein toller Plugin, lange danach gesucht. Einfach zu benutzen. Nachteil: in der WordPress- App funktioniert der Plugin nicht, es zeigt eine Fehlermeldung: “Bei der Anzeige des Blocks ist ein Problem aufgetreten”. Da ich überwiegend über App meine Beiträge schreibe, kann ich den Plugin nicht nutzen.
