Displaying Data Using Lists

HTML features support for two list types—ordered lists (in which each list item is automatically numbered) and unordered lists (in which list items are preceded by bullets). Creating HTML lists is very simple:

1.	Start the list with <ul> (for an unordered list) or <ol> (for an ordered list).
2.	End the list with a matching end tag (</ul> or </ol>).
3.	Between the list’s start and end tags, specify the list members (called list items) between <li> and </li> tags.

For example, the following is a simple bulleted (unordered) list containing three names:

<ul>
 <li>Ben Forta</li>
 <li>Nate Weiss</li>
 <li>Ray Camden</li>
</UL>

The numbered (ordered) equivalent of this list would be:

<ol> <li>Ben Forta</li> <li>Nate Weiss</li> ...
