Overview
There are times when you want to add a list of terms or references to your page.
We can do this either as an unordered (bulleted)
- cat
- dog
- mouse
or ordered (numbered) list.
- Family
- Work
in HTML5 a description list has been defined
- cat
- Furry animal
- dog
- Woffie animal

Theory:Lists
The syntax is as follows:
- For an unordered (bulleted) list the tags <ul> and </ul> surround the list
- For an ordered (numbered) list the tags <ol> and </ol> surround the list
- <li> and </li> are used for each line in the lists
So full syntax for a list is as follows;
<ul> <li>List Item 1</li> <li>List Item 2</li> </ul>
Which will produce
- List Item 1
- List Item 2
and for an ordered list;
<p>My priorities</p> <ol> <li>Family</li> <li>Work</li> <li>Study</li> </ol>
Which will produce
My priorities
- Family
- Work
- study
Ordered List attributes
Html also has a selection of other list types. These are listed below.
Table: HTML list types| HTML tag | list numbering | Description |
|---|---|---|
| <ol> | 1) 2) 3) 4) | |
| <ol type = i> | i) ii) iii) iv) | Roman numerals (lowercase) |
| <ol type = I> | I) II) III) IV) | Roman numerals (uppercase) |
| <ol type = a> | a) b) c) d) | Lowercase letters |
| <ol type = A | A. B. C. D. | Uppercase letters |
For example;
<ol type = "I"> <li>List Item 1</li> <li>List Item 2</li> </ol>
- List Item 1
- List Item 2
The starting value of the list can be changed using the start attribute
For example;
<ol start="4"> <li>Golf</li> <li>Tennis</li> </ol>
- Golf
- Tennis
Unordered list (Bullet) attributes
You can change the look of the bullets using the type attribute
Disc <ul type="disc"> Circle <ul type="circle"> Square <ul type="square">
or using styles
Disc <ul style="list-style-type:disc"> Circle <ul style="list-style-type:circle"> Square <ul style="list-style-type:square">
