How do I create lists?

You can use HTML tags to quickly and easily create ordered lists (numbered), unordered lists (bulleted), and definition lists (uses indents).

Ordered List:
You can create numbered, or ordered lists, by using the <OL> (ordered list) tag. The format is:

<OL>
<LI>item one</LI>
<LI>item two</LI>
<LI>item three</LI>
</OL>

The ordered list will look like this:

  1. item one
  2. item two
  3. item three

Unordered List:
To create bulleted, or unordered lists, use the <UL> (unordered list) tag. The format is:

<UL>
<LI>item one</LI>
<LI>item two</LI>
<LI>item three</LI>
</UL>

The unordered list will look like this:

  • item one
  • item two
  • item three

Definition List:
The definition list is somewhat different and can be used to automatically indent certain parts of your text by using the <DL> (definition list) tag. The easiest way to explain a definition list is to show one:

<DL>
<DT> Oranges</DT>
<DD> A reddish-yellow tropical fruit about the size of an apple. A member of the citrus fruit family. In the United States, oranges are grown primarily in the states of Florida and California. </DD>
<DT> Apples </DT>
<DD> Technically a pome, apples are an orange-sized fruit, usually in varying shades and mixtures of red, yellow, and green. In the United States, apples are grown primarily in the northern states, near bodies of water. </DD>
</DL>

The definition list will look like this:

Oranges
A reddish-yellow tropical fruit about the size of an apple. A member of the citrus fruit family. In the United States, oranges are grown primarily in the states of Florida and California.
Apples
Technically a pome, apples are an orange-sized fruit, usually in varying shades and mixtures of red, yellow, and green. In the United States, apples are grown primarily in the northern states, near bodies of water.
