Lists

There are three types of lists in HTML. All lists must contain one or more list elements.

Unordered HTML List

The unordered list starts with <ul> tag and list items start with the <li> tag. In unordered lists all the list items marked with bullets by default.

<ul>
  <li>Item</li>
  <li>Item</li>
  <li>Item</li>
</ul>

Output:

<html>
  • Item
  • Item
  • Item
</html>

Ordered HTML List

The ordered list starts with <ol> tag and list items start with the <li> tag. In ordered lists all the list items are marked with numbers.

<ol>
  <li>First Item</li>
  <li>Second Item</li>
  <li>Third Item</li>
</ol>

Output:

<html>
  1. First Item
  2. Second Item
  3. Third Item
</html>

HTML Description List

The description list contains list items with their definitons. We use <dl> tag to start list, <dt> tag to define a term and <dd> tag to describe each term.

<dl>
