HTML Lists

Our day-to-day lives often involve the use of lists. For example, when we go shopping, the bill we receive includes a list of all the items we've purchased. In a similar manner, web developers use lists to neatly display data on websites.

Types of HTML Lists

HTML provides different types of lists to display data in various forms. Each list contains one or more list items.

• Unordered List: Displays items using bullets.
• Ordered List: Displays items in a numerical sequence, and supports various numbering styles like Arabic numerals, Roman numerals, and so on.
• Definition List: Organizes items in a format similar to a dictionary, with terms and their corresponding definitions.

An Ordered List

An ordered list uses numbers or other types of markers to indicate the sequence of items. It's ideal for listing steps in a process or ranking items in order of importance. We will soon explore ordered lists in great detail

A Definition List

A definition list arranges items in a way similar to a dictionary, with a term followed by its definition. This is useful for glossaries or to display metadata.
