3 LISTS

Numbered lists
Bullet lists
Definition lists

There are lots of occasions when we need to use lists. HTML provides us with three different types:

Ordered lists are lists where each item in the list is numbered. For example, the list might be a set of steps for a recipe that must be performed in order, or a legal contract where each point needs to be identified by a section number.
Unordered lists are lists that begin with a bullet point (rather than characters that indicate order).
Definition lists are made up of a set of terms along with the definitions for each of those terms.

ORDERED LISTS

<ol>

The ordered list is created with the <ol> element.

<li>

Each item in the list is placed between an opening <li> tag and a closing </li> tag. (The li stands for list item.)

Browsers indent lists by default.

Sometimes you may see a type attribute used with the <ol> element to specify the type of bullet point (circles, squares, diamonds and so on). It is better to use the CSS list-style-type property covered on pages 333-335.
