Using the power of fixed-width styling, we added some utility styling to handle HTML lists with icons used as decorative bullets.

Use fa-ul and fa-li to replace default bullets in unordered lists.

  <ul class="fa-ul">
    <li><span class="fa-li"><i class="fa-solid fa-check-square"></i></span>List icons can</li>
    <li><span class="fa-li"><i class="fa-solid fa-check-square"></i></span>be used to</li>
    <li><span class="fa-li"><i class="fa-solid fa-spinner fa-pulse"></i></span>replace bullets</li>
    <li><span class="fa-li"><i class="fa-regular fa-square"></i></span>in lists</li>
  </ul>

• List icons can
• be used to
• replace bullets
• in lists

You can also keep the semantics of an ordered list behind the scenes but use icon bullets visually.

  <ol class="fa-ul">
    <li><span class="fa-li"><i class="fa-solid fa-check-square"></i></span>List icons can</li>
    <li><span class="fa-li"><i class="fa-solid fa-check-square"></i></span>be used to</li>
    <li><span class="fa-li"><i class="fa-solid fa-spinner fa-pulse"></i></span>replace bullets</li>
    <li><span class="fa-li"><i class="fa-regular fa-square"></i></span>in lists</li>
  </ol>
