Here’s a breakdown of these HTML tags used to create lists:
<ul>
(Unordered List): Creates a list where the items are typically marked with bullets.- Example:
<ul> <li>Apples</li> <li>Oranges</li> <li>Bananas</li> </ul>
- Output:
- Apples
- Oranges
- Bananas
- Example:
<ol>
(Ordered List): Creates a list where the items are marked with numbers or letters, showing order.- Example:
<ol> <li>First item</li> <li>Second item</li> <li>Third item</li> </ol>
- Output:
- First item
- Second item
- Third item
- Example:
<li>
(List Item): Used to define each individual item in both unordered (<ul>
) and ordered (<ol>
) lists.- Example:
<ul> <li>Milk</li> <li>Bread</li> </ul> <ol> <li>Step 1</li> <li>Step 2</li> </ol>
- Output:
Milk
Bread
- Step 1
- Step 2
HTML lists can be customized using certain attributes for the <ol>
and <ul>
tags. Here’s a look at these attributes:
<ol>
Attributes
start
: Specifies the starting number for the first item in the ordered list. By default, an ordered list starts at1
, but you can change it to any number.- Example:
<ol start="5"> <li>Item 5</li> <li>Item 6</li> <li>Item 7</li> </ol>
- Output:
- 5. Item 5
6. Item 6
7. Item 7
- Example:
type
: Specifies the type of marker to use for the list items. It can have the following values:"1"
: Default; items are numbered (1, 2, 3, ...)"A"
: Uppercase letters (A, B, C, ...)"a"
: Lowercase letters (a, b, c, ...)"I"
: Uppercase Roman numerals (I, II, III, ...)"i"
: Lowercase Roman numerals (i, ii, iii, ...)- Example:
<ol type="A"> <li>First item</li> <li>Second item</li> <li>Third item</li> </ol>
- Output:
A. First item
B. Second item
C. Third item
<ul>
Attribute
type
: Specifies the type of bullet point to use in the unordered list. It can have the following values:"disc"
: Default; a filled circle (●)"circle"
: An empty circle (○)"square"
: A filled square (■)- Example:
<ul type="square"> <li>Item 1</li> <li>Item 2</li> <li>Item 3</li> </ul>
- Output:
■ Item 1
■ Item 2
■ Item 3
