Name	Keyword	Types	Description
Items	`items`	Text, Styled Text, List	Array of text to display as a numbered list. Text can be further formatted using `a!richTextItem()`. Nested lists can be created using `a!richTextListItem()`.
Visibility	`showWhen`	Boolean	Determines whether the component is displayed on the interface. When set to false, the component is hidden and is not evaluated. Default: true.

Specific values within items can be further formatted using styled text.
If items is null or contains an empty array, no list is displayed.
If the items array contains one or more null values, those items in the list have no text displayed.

Numbered lists cannot be nested within styled text.
Top-level numbered lists use Arabic numerals (for example, 1, 2, 3); second-level numbered lists use letters (for example, a, b, c); third-level numbered lists use lower-case Roman numerals (for example, i, ii, iii). Further nested numbered lists repeat the same pattern starting with Arabic numerals.

To experiment with examples, copy and paste the expression into an interface object.
