HTML05: List

To display a list of items on a web site a <li> tag is used. For example, to display a list of five fruits:

Code snippet
Output
<li>Apple</li>
<li>Orange</li>
<li>Grapes</li>
<li>Banana</li>
<li>Pear</li>    

·         Apple
·         Orange
·         Grapes
·         Banana
·         Pear

There are two types of list, an ordered list or unordered list. An ordered list displays the number in front the each items in a list. Unordered list only display bullet in front of each items. By default, a list is unordered and uses disc bullet as shown in example above.
Ordered list uses <ol> tag and unordered list start with <ul>

Below is an example for ordered list
Code snippet
Output
<ol>
<li>Apple</li>
<li>Orange</li>
<li>Grapes</li>
<li>Banana</li>
<li>Pear</li>
</ol>
1.       Apple
2.       Orange
3.       Grapes
4.       Banana
5.       Pear
Below is an example for unordered list:

<li>Grapes</li>
<li>Banana</li>
<li>Pear</li>
</ul>
·         Apple
·         Orange
·         Grapes
·         Banana
·         Pear





A list can be written inside of another list. this is known as nested ist. Example below shows the example for nested list.

     </ul>
  </li>

     <ul>
       <li>Grape Jam</li>
       <li>Grape Juice</li>
       <li>Grape Salad</li>
     </ul>
  </li>
  <li>Banana</li>

</ol>
1.     Apple

o    Apple Juice
2.     Grapes

</ul>

      <li>Grape</li>
      <li>Banana</li>

</ul>
  • Apple
