### Multiple items
You can include multiple `HelperTextItem` components inside a single `HelperText` container.
```html
<ul class="pf-v6-c-helper-text" role="list">
<li class="pf-v6-c-helper-text__item">
<span class="pf-v6-c-helper-text__item-text">This is default helper text</span>
</li>
<li class="pf-v6-c-helper-text__item">
<span
class="pf-v6-c-helper-text__item-text"
>This is another default helper text in the same block</span>
</li>
<li class="pf-v6-c-helper-text__item">
<span
class="pf-v6-c-helper-text__item-text"
>And this is more default text in the same block</span>
</li>
</ul>
```
### Dynamic
If the `HelperTextItem` components are expected or intended to dynamically update in some way, you should use a dynamic `HelperText` container.
```html
<div class="pf-v6-c-helper-text">
<div class="pf-v6-c-helper-text__item pf-m-dynamic">
<span class="pf-v6-c-helper-text__item-text">This is default helper text</span>
</div>
</div>
<div class="pf-v6-c-helper-text">
<div class="pf-v6-c-helper-text__item pf-m-indeterminate pf-m-dynamic">
<span class="pf-v6-c-helper-text__item-icon">
<i class="fas fa-fw fa-minus" aria-hidden="true"></i>
</span>
<span class="pf-v6-c-helper-text__item-text">
<span class="pf-v6-screen-reader">Indeterminate:</span>
This is indeterminate helper text
</span>
</div>
</div>
<div class="pf-v6-c-helper-text">
<div class="pf-v6-c-helper-text__item pf-m-warning pf-m-dynamic">
<span class="pf-v6-c-helper-text__item-icon">
<i class="fas fa-fw fa-exclamation-triangle" aria-hidden="true"></i>
</span>
<span class="pf-v6-c-helper-text__item-text">
<span class="pf-v6-screen-reader">Warning:</span>
This is warning helper text
</span>
</div>
</div>
<div class="pf-v6-c-helper-text">
<div class="pf-v6-c-helper-text__item pf-m-success pf-m-dynamic">

<i class="fas fa-fw fa-check-circle" aria-hidden="true"></i>
</span>

</div>
<div class="pf-v6-c-helper-text">
<div class="pf-v6-c-helper-text__item pf-m-error pf-m-dynamic">

<i class="fas fa-fw fa-exclamation-circle" aria-hidden="true"></i>
</span>
<span class="pf-v6-c-helper-text__item-text">
<span class="pf-v6-screen-reader">Error:</span>
