Whenever content on a web page or in a digital document can be described as a list of something, it should be created as a list, using the list features that are provided by the authoring tool.
When lists are explicitly created as lists, screen readers can inform their users that they have landed on a list and can provide additional information such as the number of items in the list, which is extremely helpful. It also facilitates navigation, as users can easily navigate between list items with a single keystroke.

The Rich Content Editor in Canvas includes a single button for selecting “Ordered and Unordered Lists” from a popup menu. Depending on your screen size, it might be hidden behind the “More…” button (three dots).
