Lists

In HTML you can create lists. These are a list of items, such as links. The two main types are Ordered and Unordered.

What is an Ordered list?

An Ordered list is a list with an order such as a recipe or a step-by-step guide. The items are listed with numbers.

What is an Unordered list?

An Unordered list is a list with a no specific structure, such as a list of names or a shopping list. The items are listed with bullet points.

Coding a list

The coding stucture for lists are reasonably straight-forward. To create a list you need these tags:

 <UL> or <OL> 

If you are creating an unordered list you need to use

 <UL>  

and for an ordered list you need

 <OL> 

For each item in the list, you need:

 <LI> </LI> 

This is what an unordered list could look like:

 
   <UL>
     <LI> Keyboard </LI>
     <LI> Mouse </LI>
     <LI> Speakers </LI>
   </UL>
 

An ordered list could look like:

   <OL>
     <LI> Empty ingredients into bowl </LI>
     <LI> Mix </LI>
     <LI> Bake for 30 minutes </LI>
   </OL>
