Add the List Block

To add the List block, click the + Block Inserter icon and search for “list”. Click it to add the block to the post or page.

Alternatively, you can quickly start a numbered list by typing 1. and then a space. To quickly start a bulleted list, type * or - and then a space. When typing these commands on a new line, it will automatically create a List block.

Using your keyboard, you can also type /list on a new line and press enter to quickly add a new List block.
