Checks that ul and ol elements contain only li elements

| | |
|---|---|
| **Rule ID** | `a11y/list-structure` |
| **Category** | [Accessibility](/rules/a11y) |
| **Scope** | Per-page |
| **Severity** | error |
| **Weight** | 7/10 |

## Solution

Lists (`<ul>` and `<ol>`) should only contain `<li>` elements as direct children. For custom components, you can also use elements with role='listitem'. Move other content inside `<li>` elements.
