Link List

When to Use
The Link List component can be used to help break up large blocks of text, make complex articles and blog posts easier to grasp, and make key information stand out.
Usage
Introduce a list with a clear, descriptive sentence or phrase. The words used just before the link list are important because it lets the reader know what the list is about and why it is important.
The orientation of link lists changes based on the designated number of columns for Desktop, Tablet, and Mobile. Vertical lists are best when you have three or more items that you want to attract attention to.
Bulleted lists attract attention, support scanning, shorten text, and reveal the relationship of items. Bulleted lists work best when they include related items. The items should share a similar level of importance.
Numbered lists are usually reserved for instances in which the items must occur in a specific order, such as steps in a procedure, or when keeping count is important, such as a top 10 list.
