Wordpress-seo: New FAQ block text format

[QROkes]

• [x] I've read and understood the contribution guidelines.
• [x] I've searched for any related issues and avoided creating a duplicate issue.

Please give us a description of what happened.

Using the new FAQ block and trying to give some format to the answer, I tried "pre", "ul/li" and "p" and it was not possible. After "editing in html" wordpress ask me convert to block because it was modified and remove all these changes.

Please describe what you expected to happen and why.

Would be nice having an option to add some basic format to the answers.

• Enter insert a "br" instead a new paragraph "p". Would be nice have more than one paragraph for answers.
• Lists "ul/li" and "pre" should be allowed.

How can we reproduce this behavior?

1. Add a new FAQ Block (yoast).
2. Edit as HTML and try to add a "pre" formating.
3. Come back to edit visually.
4. WP will ask you to convert to block, after that, the new "pre" tags added will be removed.

Thank you for reporting this issue. We'll discuss this enhancement internally to see if it is something we can and will add.

This suggestion also aligns with Google's recommendations:

The full answer to the question. The answer may contain HTML content such as links and lists. Valid HTML tags include: <h1> through <h6>, <br>, <ol>, <ul>, <li>, <a>, <p>, <div>, <b>, <strong>, <i>, and <em>.

Being able to use lists in the Answer field would be really useful.

Also, each question should contain an individual "id" for better linking.
<h3 id="first-question">

Has there been any progress with adding support for the ul, ol and li tags in the How To and FAQ blocks?

[Djennez]

This has no priority at the moment, as far as I know.

Request to replace the <strong> tag with `a <div>

[lazharichir]

The UL/OL/LI tags are especially important when it comes to giving clear short-form answers to questions.

[webprom]

I need at least LISTS there too.

[Bylyme]

+1 for ul / ol / li

[mkronenfeld]

+1

It would be already sufficient, if the block does not collapse, if you insert a list via the HTML editor.

[acegoulet]

+1 for ul / ol / li

[eric-michel]

+1 - this block is necessary for well-built sites that contain an FAQ, but the lack of at least a ul option is pretty limiting.

I will close this issue since I stopped using Yoast and also I built my own FAQ block and this issue is now solved for me. After more than 2 years open seems like it's not a priority here.
