Lists

There are three kinds of lists in HTML:

Unordered lists <UL></UL>
Ordered lists <OL></OL>
Definition lists <DL></DL>

Unordered Lists

This list starts with an opening list <UL> tag and ends the list with a closing list </UL> tag. Between the <UL> and </UL>, you enter the <LI> (list item) tag followed by the individual item; no closing </LI> tag is needed. For example:

<UL>
<LI> Name
<LI> Phone
<LI> ID
</UL>

In the web browser the above code would appear three elements as:

• Name
• Phone
• ID

Ordered Lists

An orderered list is similar to an unordered list, except it uses <OL> instead of <UL>:

<OL>
<LI>College
<LI>Hight School
<LI>Elemantory School
</OL>

The output is:

1. College
2. Hight School
3. Elemantory School

Definition Lists

A definition list starts with <DL> and ends with </DL>. This list consists of alternating a definition term and a definition definition. The definition term is enclosed in <DT> </DT> and should precede the definition definition. The definition definition is enclosed in <DD> </DD>. So, a whole definition list looks like:

<DL>
<DT> term </DT>
<DD> definition </DD>
...
<DT> term </DT>
<DD> definition </DD>
</DL>
