The ListItem extension adds support for the `<li>` HTML tag. It’s used for bullet lists and ordered lists and can’t really be used without them.

## Installation
```bash
npm install @tiptap/extension-list-item
```

This extension requires the [`BulletList`](/api/nodes/bullet-list) or [`OrderedList`](/api/nodes/ordered-list) node.

## Settings

### HTMLAttributes
Custom HTML attributes that should be added to the rendered HTML tag.

```js
ListItem.configure({
  HTMLAttributes: {
    class: 'my-custom-class',
  },
})
```
