The UNORDERED LIST...
The Unnumbered List is the first of the three types
of lists. This is probably the most common list you
will use.
Example of an Unordered List...
- pencils
- pens
- erasers
- paper
- glue
Notice the Bullet Before each List Item. Now here is
the HTML Code for the Unordered List Above...
<ul>
<li>pencils</li>
<li>pens</li>
<li>erasers</li>
<li>paper</li>
<li>glue</li>
</ul>
The <ul> tag is the opening
Unordered List Tag. Therefore, the </ul>
is the closing tag. Between these two tags you place
LIST ITEMS, each one having an individual
<li> opening tag, and an optional </li>
closing tag. There is no limit to the number of List
Items you may have in a single list.
The ORDERED LIST...
The Ordered List, also known as the Numbered List,
is very similar in structure to the unordered list,
except each list item has a number in front of it,
instead of a bullet. Also, the opening tag for the
list is <ol> instead of <ul>,
and the closing tag is </ol> instead
of </ul>. List Items within the list
still use the same tags.
Example of an Ordered List...
- pencils
- pens
- erasers
- paper
- glue
Notice the Number Before each List Item. Now here is
the HTML Code for the Ordered List Above...
<ol>
<li>pencils</li>
<li>pens</li>
<li>erasers</li>
<li>paper</li>
<li>glue</li>
</ol>
The Definition List...
This type of list is a little more complicated, but
still very easy to use. This list starts with the <dl>
opening tag, and ends with the </dl>
closing tag. This has another tag known as <dt>
for Definition Term, and <dd>
for Definition Definition. These two tags
do not need closing tags.
Example of a Definition List...
- alliance
- A union, relationship, or connection by kinship,
marriage, or common interest.
- alligator
- Large amphibious reptile with very sharp teeth,
powerful jaws.
- alliterate
- To arrange or form words beginning with the same
sound.
Now here is the HTML code for this Definition List...
<dl>
<dt>alliance
<dd>A union, relationship, or connection by kinship, marriage,
or common interest.
<dt>alligator
<dd>Large amphibious reptile with very sharp teeth, powerful jaws.
<dt>alliterate
<dd>To arrange or form words beginning with the same sound.
</dl>
