Organizing Text Content

Further organization and optimization of page content can make the user experience more enjoyable and helps the audience consume the content the way you intended.

Below you'll learn about creating tables and toggles, adding file downloads, list components for news feeds, and tags and filtering options.

Tables

Tables are discouraged in CLF4 as most information can be organized into columns, toggles or lists. Tables do not work well on mobile devices. If necessary, tables should only be used for research data or other data information that cannot be displayed in another way.

 Best Practices

  • Do not use tables on a red background for readability

  • Try not to use tables as much as possible. Tables do not display well on mobile devices, so it’s best to find alternative ways to display your content such as columns, toggles or lists. 

 How to

Table without lines
