How to transform a basic list into a \"list group\" with CSS?

To create a basic list, use the <ul> element. Use the <li> to place the list items in the <ul>. To form it a list group, use the CSS styled. Let us see how to transform a basic list into a list group with HTML and CSS. First, we will create an unordered list.

Create an unordered list

The <ul> element is used to create an unordered list. The list items are set using the <li> elements −

<ul>
   <li>Lion</li>
   <li>Tiger</li>
   <li>Leopard</li>
   <li>Cheetah</li>
   <li>Jaguar</li>
   <li>Cat</li>
   <li>Dog</li>
</ul>

Remove the bullets

To remove the bullets from the unordered list, use the list-style-type property with the value none. The padding and margins are also set to 0 −

ul {
   list-style-type: none;
   padding: 0;
   margin: 0;
}

Style the unordered list

Set a border for the unordered list to make it look like a list group. The border is set using the border property −

ul li {
   border: 1px solid rgb(0, 0, 0);
   background-color: rgb(246,246,246);;
   padding: 12px;
   font-size: 18px;
}

Example

To transform a basic list into a "list group" with CSS, the code is as follows −

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
   <style>
      body {
         font-family: "Segoe UI", Tahoma, Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif;
      }
      * {
         box-sizing: border-box;
      }
      ul {
         list-style-type: none;
         padding: 0;
         margin: 0;
      }
      ul li {
         border: 1px solid rgb(0, 0, 0);
         background-color: rgb(246,246,246);
         padding: 12px;
         font-size: 18px;
      }
   </style>
</head>
<body>
   <h1>List Group Example</h1>
   <ul>
      <li>Lion</li>
      <li>Tiger</li>
      <li>Leopard</li>
      <li>Cheetah</li>
      <li>Jaguar</li>
      <li>Cat</li>
      <li>Dog</li>
   </ul>
