Text is formatted as a list by hand

Why it matters

Lines typed with "-", "•" or "1." look like a list but are not announced as one, so screen reader users lose the item count and cannot skip past it.

Who it affects: Screen reader users, who rely on real lists and paragraphs to hear how content is grouped and how many items there are.

What Lumtera flags

Consecutive paragraphs that start with a dash, bullet or number.

Check ID list-fake — use it to filter the content report or with wp lumtera issues --rule.

How to fix it in WordPress

Convert the lines into a List block (select the paragraphs and choose Transform → List). Screen readers then announce "list, 4 items" and let visitors skip it.

In the block editor, this issue has a Fix button: one click repairs the block, and Undo puts it back.

Example

<p>- Free shipping</p>
<p>- 30-day returns</p>

<ul>
  <li>Free shipping</li>
  <li>30-day returns</li>
</ul>

How to check your fix

1. Update the post. The issue disappears from the Accessibility sidebar on the next check, and from the site report on the next scan.
2. With a screen reader, move to the list. It should announce "list, 3 items" (or similar) before the first item.
