<div class="bux-timeline bux-timeline--right"></div>

# When using the center align variant, every other `bux-timeline__item` should have an `even`
modifier class.

Usage

Dos

• Use for time-based events (dates, seasons, etc.), like history of an event
• Keep copy concise, providing a brief overview within each milestone

Don’ts

• Don’t use a Timeline for lists without an associated time or season
• Don't use for a simple list; consider using a List instead
• Don't use for an advanced list; consider using a Listicle instead
• Don't use for a list of future steps; consider using a Listicle (ordered variant) instead
