HTML Lists
List items can contain block and text level items, although headings and
address elements are excluded.
-
UL unordered lists
-
These require start and end tags, and contain one or more LI elements
representing individual list items.
Unordered lists take the form:
<UL>
<LI><I>... first list item</I>
<LI><I>... second list item</I>
...
</UL>
The TYPE attribute can be used to set the bullet style on UL and LI elements.
-
OL ordered (i.e. numbered) lists
-
These require start and end tags, and contain one or more LI elements
representing individual list items.
Ordered (i.e. numbered) lists take the form:
<OL>
<LI><I>... first list item</I>
<LI><I>... second list item</I>
...
</OL>
The OL START attribute can be used to initialize the sequence number. You
can reset it later on with the VALUE attribute on LI elements.
-
DL definition lists
-
These require start and end tags and contain DT elements that give the terms,
and DD elements that give corresponding definitions.
Definition lists take the form:
<DL>
<DT><I>term name</I>
<DD><I>term definition</I>
...
</DL>
DT elements can only act as containers for text level elements, while DD
elements can hold block level elements as well,
excluding headings and address elements.
