Best practice for Lists (<ol> and <ul>)

[YousefED]

Hi noticed react-email doesn't have built-in components for lists and list items.

I came across this article which suggests it's not trivial for email: https://www.litmus.com/blog/the-ultimate-guide-to-bulleted-lists-in-html-email

I also noticed that there used to be a list component in react-email, but not anymore. What's your advice on lists on emails?

Thanks,

Looked into it, seems trivial to me, honestly. Most of the changes they recommend making is mostly opinionated on where the symbol should be, and the info on the type attribute is just normal HTML.

Any other reason we should make these?

Good point. Technically, I think they also explicitly reset the styles, so it makes sense react-email does that for me?

But technical details aside, as a consumer, I think I want to use "react-email powered compoments" to make sure my email renders correctly across different clients - and don't want to figure out the technical details (is element xyz supported across email clients or not? what are the caveats, etc), because that's why I use a library like react-email. TLDR; as a "dumb" consumer I'd benefit from either (a) built-in components representing lists, that I can reuse, or (b) some guidance in documentation that explains which "regular" HTML components are safe to use.

Hope this perspective helps and curious how you think about this!
