HTML List Refresher

As you learned in Chapter 5, there are three basic types of HTML lists. Each presents content in a slightly different way based on its type and the context:

• The ordered list is an indented list that displays numbers or letters before each list item. The ordered list is surrounded by <ol> and </ol> tags and list items are enclosed in the <li></li> tag pair. This list type is often used to display numbered steps or levels of content.

• The unordered list is an indented list that displays a bullet or other symbol before each list item. The unordered list is surrounded by <ul> and </ul> tags, and list items are enclosed in the <li></li> tag pair. This list type is often used to provide a visual cue to show that brief, yet specific, bits of information will follow.
