There are two main types of lists in HTML, ordered and unordered. An ordered list uses numbers or another method of showing the items are ordered, whereas an unordered list will use bullet points.
An ordered list looks like this
It is implemented using the ol
tag. List items are implemented using the li
tag. So the above list looks like this in HTML:
<ol>
<li>Three</li>
<li>Ordered</li>
<li>Items</li>
</ol>
An unordered list looks like this:
It is implemented using the ul
tag. Again list items are implemented using the
li
tag. Meaning the above list looks like this in HTML
<ul>
<li>Three</li>
<li>Unordered</li>
<li>Items</li>
</ul>
