HTML Lists – Your Content, Neatly Ordered


Every great website needs a way to present information clearly. That`s where Lists and Tables come in.

Let’s explore how they work, and you can code along too.

HTML gives you two main types of lists:


1. Unordered Lists (<ul>)

Used when the order doesn’t matter. Think bullet points. 

<ul>
  <li>HTML</li>
  <li>CSS</li>
  <li>JavaScript</li>
</ul>

What You’ll See:

  • HTML
  • CSS
  • JavaScript

Try This: List 3 things you want to learn this month using <ul> and <li>.


2. Ordered Lists (<ol>)

Used when the order does matter — like steps in a recipe.

<ol>
  <li>Plan your website</li>
  <li>Design the layout</li>
  <li>Write the code</li>
</ol>

What You’ll See:

    1. Plan your website
    2. Design the layout
    3. Write the code

Try This: Create a to-do list of your learning goals for the week using <ol>

Tip - You can even nest lists (put one list inside another).
