HTML supports unnumbered, numbered, and descriptive lists. These lists need no end of paragraph tag. This is an example of how to create an unordered list:
<ul>
<li>This is first item in the list
<li>This is the second item in the list
<li>This is third item in list
</ul>
Note how each list begins with a <ul> tag and ends with a </ul> tag and each item in the list begins with the <li> tag. This type of list will contain bullets, circles, or dashes to show the start of the list item.
You can also have an ordered list in which each item in the list is preceded by a number. The following set of commands demonstrates how you can create an ordered list.
<ol>
<li>This is first item in the list
<li>This is the second item
<li>This is third item in list
</ol>
The following shows how you can have subtopics within either an ordered list or an unordered list. Notice how the solid dot changes to an openc ircle for the items in the subtopic list.
<ul>
<li>This is first item in the list
<ul>
<li>one
<li>two
<li>three
</ul>
<li>This is the second item <li>
This is third item in list
</ul>
You can also have a definition list or glossary. The <dl> tag begins the list while the <dt> identifies each term to be defined. The <dd> tag begins the definition of each term.
<dl>
<dt>Proton
<dd>A proton is a positively charged particle
<dt>Neutron
<dd>A neutron is a neutral particle
<dt>Electron
<dd>An electron is a negatively charged particle
</dl>
