How can I style the bullet text of a list in Webflow when editing a blog post in the CMS?

TL;DR
  • Access Rich Text Element in Webflow Designer, adjust typography styles, and use CSS selectors (ul, li) to target and customize list elements.
  • Preview and publish changes to ensure styled bullet text appears as desired.

Styling the bullet text of a list in a Webflow CMS blog post involves a few key steps within the Designer to ensure that your list elements look exactly how you want them.

​

1. Access Your Blog Post

  • Open Webflow Designer and go to the Collection Page where your blog post resides.
  • Select the Rich Text Element that holds your blog content.

​

2. Adjust Typography Styles

  • Click on the Rich Text Element to access its settings.
  • Navigate to the Typography Section in the style panel to customize font, size, color, or line height. These styles will apply to all text within the element, including the list.

​

3. Target List Items Specifically

  • Select the Rich Text Element again and enter the CSS Selector field found under the Style Manager tab.
  • Type ul (for unordered lists) or li (for list items) to apply styles to only those elements. This step enables you to style list-specific elements.

​

4. Customize List Style

  • Adjust Font and Text Properties for the list text by selecting the ul or li selector.
  • If needed, add padding or margin to indent the list properly or to customize spacing between items.

​

5. Preview and Publish

  • Check the Preview of your blog post to ensure the styles appear as desired.
  • Publish to Your Website to make these styles live.

​

Summary

To style the bullet text of a list in a Webflow CMS blog post, access the Rich Text Element within the Designer, adjust typography settings for list-specific elements using CSS selectors, and then preview and publish your changes for finalization.
