Fieldset, legend, and list items are the foundation for all CF7 Skins Templates. They are a key part to the structure and style of your form.

• The FIELDSET item groups together related form fields.
• The LEGEND item helps provide context to each fieldset by adding a title.
• LIST-OL items act like a group of related LIST-LI items.
•  LIST-LI items act like containers for a form’s field tags (Contact Form 7 Tags), such as Checkbox, Text, Date, etc.

Tip: If you duplicate a LIST-OL, it will duplicate all of the LIST-LI and tags inside. This can save a huge amount of time if you have similar sections on your form.

The main advantages behind using this syntax are:

• Customization and options for the form layout is both easier and more versatile.
• Contact Form 7 form tags are visually less cluttered and easier to tweak.
• Advanced and detailed CSS styling is much easier.
• W3C compliant.
• Accessibility such as tabbing navigation for visual user agents and speech navigation for speech-oriented user agents.

Tip: You don’t need to fully understand these items in order to use CF7 Skins. We recommend selecting a Template and following it as a guide.
