Lists

We will discuss three different types of lists:

•definition lists
•bulleted/unordered lists
•numbered/ordered lists

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Definition lists

The definition list tags are:

<DL> </DL>

They specify anything between as part of a definition list.
There are also two more tags that are part of the definition list:

<DT>  The definition term
<DD>  The definition description

These two tags are unpaired and occur at the beginning of a line of text.

I'll show you how to use these tags in drill 1.

Bulleted/unordered lists

These two tags specify a unordered list:

<UL> </UL>

Each list item will have this tag before it:

<LI>  The list item tag

The list item tag is unpaired.

When your web browser views an unordered list every term will look like this:

•item 1
•item 2
•item 3

and so on.

We'll see how to use these tags in drill 2.

Numbered/ordered lists

The tags for an ordered list are:

<OL> </OL>

Just like the unordered list, each list item will have the list item tag before it:

<LI>  The list item tag

When your web browser views an ordered list every term will look like this:

1.item 1
2.item 2
3.item 3

and so on.

These tags are shown in drill 3.

Summary

Lists can be organized as a definition list, an unordered list or an ordered list.

Let's go to the drills and use these lists.
