List
What Carbon provides
Carbon incorporates many accessibility considerations, some of which are described below.
Keyboard interaction
Lists are not keyboard operable, unless the list items themselves are operable.
In such a situation, the list items will retain the component’s default keyboard
interaction. For example, in a list of links, each
link will be in the tab
order and can be activated by Enter.
Development considerations
Keep this in mind if you’re modifying Carbon or creating a custom component:
- Carbon uses native
HTML ordered
(
ol) and unorder (ul) lists and list items (li), then styles them with CSS. - Carbon uses
::beforeand::markerCSS pseudo-elements for the numbering and bulleting of lists, which are properly read by assistive technologies such as screen readers.
