Text to HTML List

The primary goal of this module is to improve site editor experience and ease the process of adding and reordering lists of content.

Functionality

This is a field widget that allows site editors to input all list content into a single field and automatically creates individual list items. Site editors can add list items one by one or copy and paste from a varity of sources, including Word, Excel, Google Docs, and websites, providing that content is on separate lines in the source content. All list items can then be reordered or removed through the UI, as required by site editors. Lists can be configured to use plain text, bullets, numbered list, or checkboxes.

Use Case

Currently used for entering recipe content - ingredient lists and steps. See example recipe.

Notes

This was inspired by the Copy Paste functionality for creating cards and lists in Trello.
