Bulma is a component-rich, modern, and lightweight CSS framework that is based on flexbox. It helps in building beautiful and responsive web interfaces easier and faster. In this article, we will be seeing what type of content can be used inside a dropdown component in Bulma.

So, an HTML <a> tag can be used directly as a dropdown item but we can also use an HTML <div> element as a dropdown item and fill the div element with whatever content we like. For example paragraphs, links, buttons, etc.
