HTML-LISTS-unordered list

If we go by the definition of a LIST, its a set of the items which belong to the same group or class.

Same is the case with the LISTS in HTML.

If you remember the history of the HTML, it was developed for Research AND Educational work, so LISTS AND TABLES were part of HTML from very beginning.

HTML-GENERAL FORMAT OF LIST ELEMENT

The LIST TAG is used to tell the browser that the following text is to be represented as LISTS. Although there are three types of lists present, the format for this element is almost similar to all the three types. Here is the format.

<TAG OF TYPE OF LIST>

<LI> ITEM DESCRIPTION </LI>

.

.

.

.

</TAG OF TYPE OF LIST>

This is the standard format of using any list.

 

DO YOU KNOW ????

HTML 5 IS THE LATEST HTML VERSION WHICH IS BEING FOLLOWED IN THIS TUTORIAL.

HTML-TYPES OF LISTS

There are mainly THREE TYPES OF LISTS in HTML.

  • ORDERED LIST
  • UNORDERED LIST
  • DEFINITION LIST
We will discuss every type with examples and try to understand them.
The ORDERED LIST of HTML has been already discussed here in full details. Click anywhere on this line.

html-what is UNordered list?

As the name itself is self explanatory, it is unordered one. We don’t have any kind of numbering in front of the UNORDERED LISTS. So unordered list is the one which

  • is not preceded by any number, a roman numeral or an alphabet to show that show any sequence or precedence but just by any bullet which shows equal importance to all the constituents of the list.
*The list used in this text is showing bullets i.e. unordered list.

STEPS:

  1. Open the NOTEPAD.
  2. COPY OR TYPE the following code for the ordered list.
  3. The explanation follows after the pictorial description.

STEPS:

  1. Plug in the TV.
  2. Take out the remote.
