Lists

There are three main types of lists, ordered, unordered and definition lists.

Lists are the preferred way to display items one after the other, instead of just using <br> tags. Lists are easy to create, with a tag to start and end the list itself, and a tag to start an end each item in the list.

Un-ordered Lists

An unordered list is a bulleted list, similar to the menu on the right (although the menu has been altered using stylesheets to use images instead of the standard bullets.)

Define Unordered List - <ul></ul>

Use the <ul> tags to sets the start and end of the list. All list items go between these list tags.

Unordered List Item - <li></li>

Each item must start with the <li> tag. The closing tag is not required, but is considered to be good practice.

Bullet Type <ul type="disc | circle | square">

Can be applied to either then entire list or each list item.

Ordered Lists

This list is used when each list item needs to be indexed, such as a numbered list.

Define Ordered List - <ol></ol>

Use the <ol> tags to sets the start and end of the list. All list items go between the ordered list tags.

Ordered List Item - <li></li>

Each item must start with the <li>tag. The closing tag is not required, but is considered to be good practice.
