Chapters
A good list is designed with intent - and indentation! This will make setting up UI for any list a whole lot easier. Learn about styling options, the indent tag of TextMesh Pro and possible ways to easily layout your sorted and unsorted lists.
You will learn about the indent-tag built into TextMesh Pro, and working with margins. We are going to have a look at numbered lists as well as unnumbered ones. List markers can also be glyphs from a different font (that is super common to do in printed material ;)!), or sprites! Working like this, you don't need a long list of elements and Gameobjects in your UI, just marking the list entries as such will be enought.
