+++ title = "File trees" +++

Representing folder/file structures is simple and accessible in Infusion. Which is just as well, because some components may need to conform to a certain folder structure.

The file tree is described using a markdown nested list structure:

{{}} {{% fileTree %}}

• Level 1 folder
  • Level 2 file
  • Level 2 folder
    • Level 3 file
    • Level 3 folder
      • Level 4 file
    • Level 3 folder
      • Level 4 file
      • Level 4 file
  • Level 2 folder
    • Level 3 file
    • Level 3 file
    • Level 3 file {{% /fileTree %}} {{
    }}

This is drawn in the following fashion, but preserves the underlying nested list structure for assistive technologies such as screen readers:

{{% fileTree %}}

• Level 1 folder
  • Level 2 file
  • Level 2 folder
    • Level 3 file
    • Level 3 folder
      • Level 4 file
    • Level 3 folder
      • Level 4 file
      • Level 4 file
  • Level 2 folder
    • Level 3 file
    • Level 3 file
    • Level 3 file {{% /fileTree %}}

{{% warning %}} The only reliable way to nest unordered lists in markdown is to indent the nested item by exactly four spaces. Using tabs and less than four spaces are unreliable methods. {{% /warning %}}
