HTML Lists

In this tutorial you will learn how to create different types of lists in HTML.

How to Make Lists in HTML

In HTML, we can list items either in an ordered or unordered fashion.

An ordered list uses numbers or some sort of notation that indicates a series of items.

For example, an ordered list can start with number 1, and continue through 2, 3, 4, and so on. Your ordered list can also start with the letter A and go through B, C, D, and so on.

Here is an example of an ordered list with students' names and marks.

On the other hand, we have unordered lists, like a TODO list for example. Here I am so passionate about coding that I skipped my breakfast 🤓.

There is one more type of list called a description list that we will learn as well below.

Now let's get into a bit more detail and see how to create each type of list in HTML.

Example A:

This list constitutes, with its introduction and list items, a complete sentence. It is numbered to indicate a chronology of steps, with no period after the number. Each list item is lowercased, and there is no terminal punctuation.
