An Introduction to HTML: Lists

There are many options for listing information.

• Unordered (bulleted) lists: <UL>list</UL>
• Ordered (numbered) lists: <OL>list</OL>
• Definition List: <DL>list</DL>

For the first two types of lists, use <LI> in front of each item in the list. Here's how to create an unordered list:

<UL>
<LI> Harvard University
<LI> Yale University
<li> Princeton University
</UL>

• Harvard University
• Yale University
• Princeton University

Here's an ordered list:

<OL>
<LI> Princeton University
<LI> Yale University
<LI> Harvard University
</OL>

1. Princeton University
2. Yale University
3. Harvard University

You can "nest" lists within lists:

<UL>
<LI> Harvard University

<UL>
<LI> Law School
<LI> Medical School
</UL>

<LI> Yale University
<LI> Princeton University
</UL>

• Harvard University
  • Law School
  • Medical School
