HTML Lists | Create Organized and Structured Lists in HTML

HTML Lists​

HTML lists are used to group together related pieces of information and present them in an organized way. There are three types of lists in HTML: ordered, unordered, and definition lists.

Ordered Lists​

These are lists in which each item is numbered or lettered, and the order of the items is important. They are created using the <ol> tag and each item is enclosed in <li> tags.

As an example:

Editor

Loading...

Unordered Lists​

These are lists in which each item is marked with a bullet point, and the order of the items is not important. They are created using the <ul> tag and each item is enclosed in <li> tags.

As an example:

Editor

Loading...

Definition Lists​

These are lists that consist of a series of terms and their definitions. They are created using the <dl> tag, with each term enclosed in <dt> tags and each definition enclosed in <dd> tags.

As an example:

Editor

Loading...
nested lists

Lists can also be nested within each other, for example an ordered list within an unordered list, or a definition list within an ordered list, etc.
