List layouts
List items can in general be more complex (contain more elements) than grid items.
Certain layout rules apply to all lists:
All items in a list have equal height on screen. (Forms do not follow this rule in
edit state; see section Forms.)
·
· The column structure of all items in a list must be similar. It is not possible to
combine e.g. single-column items to a three-column item list. (But it is possible
to use some different item types having the same general appearance.) See the
following section about columns.
