Introduction
HTML stands for HyperText Markup Languages. HTML is the basic building block of web pages in the World Wide Web. HTML is not a programming language, it is for markup languages running in a web browser.
We can create numbered and bullet lists on a web page using the list tag. There are basically three types of list tag:
- Ordered List – To create a list of related items, using numbered order.
- Unordered List – To create a list of related items, using bullet order.
- Definition List – To create a list of defining the terms.
Ordered List <ol>
The List is created by <ol> tag and closes the </ol>. Ordered list is listed by numbering one by one. The <li> this tag is listing the items in the ordered list and the close list tag </li>. In the ordered list using numbered order.
Example:
<html>
<head>
<title>ordered list</title>
</head>
<body>
<ol>
<li>c </li>
<li>c++ </li>
<li>Java</li>
<li>Python</li>
<li>Javascript</li>
</ol>
</body>
</html>
Unordered List <ul>
The list is created by <ul> tag and close tag</ul>. The unordered list is represented by a Bullet symbol. It is also called a bulleted list, the <ul> list starts with <li> .
<html>
<head>
<title>ordered list</title>
</head>
<body>
<ul>
<li>c </li>
<li>c++ </li>
<li>Java</li>
<li>Python</li>
<li>Javascript</li>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
