HTML Lists


HTML lists allow web developers to group a set of related items in lists.


Example:

An unordered HTML list:
  • Item
  • Item
  • Item
  • Item
An ordered HTML list:
  1. First item
  2. Second item
  3. Third item
  4. fourth item

Unordered HTML List

An unordered list starts with the <ul> tag. Each list item starts with the <li> tag.
The list items will be marked with bullets (small black circles) by default:

Example:

<ul>
    <li>Coffee</li>
    <li>Tea</li>
    <li>Milk</li>
<ul>

An ordered list starts with the <ol> tag. Each list item starts with the <li> tag.

The list items will be marked with numbers by default:

Example:

<ol>
    <li>Coffee</li>
    <li>Tea</li>
    <li>Milk</li>
<ol>

HTML Description Lists

HTML also supports description lists.
A description list is a list of terms, with a description of each term.
The <dl> tag defines the description list, the <dt> tag defines the term (name), and the <dd> tag describes each term:

Example:

<dl>
<dt>Coffee</dt>
<dd>- black hot drink</dd>
<dt>Milk</dt>
<dd>- white cold drink</dd>
</dl>
