Types of Lists in HTML

1.1 Introduction

A list is a record of short pieces of information, such as people’s names, usually written or printed with a single thing on each line and ordered in a way that makes a particular thing easy to find.

The types of lists that can be used in HTML are :

  • ul : An unordered list. This will list items using plain bullets.
  • ol : An ordered list. This will use different schemes of numbers to list your items.
