Lists: There Are Three List Types

Lists are used to group related information together in an organized manner. There are three types of lists: unordered, ordered, and description lists. Unordered lists use bullets and have no particular order. Ordered lists use numbers and specify an order. Description lists display name-value pairs. CSS properties like list-style-type and the OL type attribute are used to style list markers. Common tags for lists are <ul>, <ol>, and <li>.

LISTS

Lists are used to group related pieces of information together, so they are clearly associated
with each other and easy to read.

There are three list types:


 Unordered list — used to group a set of related items, in no particular order.
 Ordered list — used to group a set of related items, in a specific order.
 Description list — used to display name/value pairs such as terms and their definitions, or times and
events.

Unordered lists

Unordered lists, or bulleted lists, are used when a set of items can be placed in any order. An example is a
shopping list:

 milk
 bread
 butter
 coffee beans

Ordered lists

Ordered lists, or numbered lists, are used to display a list of items that need to be placed in a specific order.
An example would be cooking instructions :

1. Gather ingredients
2. Mix ingredients together
3. Place ingredients in a baking dish
4. Bake in oven for an hour
5. Remove from oven
6. Allow to stand for ten minutes
7. Serve

LISTS USING CSS:

The CSS list-style-type property is used to define the style of the list item marker:

a. Unordered list:

Value (Symbol) Description


 Disc Sets the list item marker to a bullet (default)
 Circle Sets the list item marker to a circle
 Square Sets the list item marker to a square
 None The list items will not be marked
Example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<h2>Unordered List with Disc Bullets</h2>

<ul style="list-style-type:enter your value(symbol type)">


<li>Coffee</li>
<li>Tea</li>
<li>Milk</li>
</ul>

</body>
</html>

b. Ordered list:

The type attribute of the <ol> tag, defines the type of the list item marker:

Type Description
type="1" The list items will be numbered with numbers (default)
type="A" The list items will be numbered with uppercase letters
type="a" The list items will be numbered with lowercase letters
type="I" The list items will be numbered with uppercase roman numbers
type="i" The list items will be numbered with lowercase roman numbers

Example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<h2>Ordered List with Numbers</h2>

<ol type="enter your type">


<li>Coffee</li>
<li>Tea</li>
<li>Milk</li>
</ol>
</body>
</html>

VARIOUS TAGS USED WHILE OPERATING IN LISTS :


 Use the HTML <ul> element to define an unordered list
 Use the CSS list-style-type property to define the list item marker
 Use the HTML <ol> element to define an ordered list
 Use the HTML type attribute to define the numbering type
 Use the HTML <li> element to define a list item
 Lists can be nested inside lists
