HTML for People Who Want to Learn -- Lists for Starters

Lists for Starters

Have you ever wanted to tabulate some information? Maybe a list of your favorite Web sites, or the directions for making your broccoli casserole, or a list of anything else? With HTML, you have three types of lists to choose from, and all of them are easy to make.

There are three basic types of lists that you can easily learn how to create.

Unordered List: Also known as a bulleted list, it is used when the order of listed items is not important.
Ordered List: Also known as a numbered list, it is used when the order of listed items is important.
Definition List: Used when naming a term and then giving the definition or a description.

Here are examples of each type of list:

Unordered List

List item number one
List item number two
List item number three

Ordered List

List item number one
List item number two
List item number three

Definition List

WWW: World Wide Web
SGML: Standard Generalized Markup Language
HTML: Hypertext Markup Language

HTML Help Bulletin Board: Ask a question about how to do something with HTML. Maybe you can answer someone else's question.
