- ORDERED LISTS
The general HTML code looks like this: <OL TYPE=SYMBOL>.
The SYMBOL is what will appear in front of each line in the list. Use A for capital letters, a for small letters, I for capital roman numerals, i for small roman numerals and 1 for numbers. Not declaring a symbol style will appear as the default numbers(1.,2.,3.,etc.)
Each line in the list should start with <LI>.
End the list with </OL>.
UNORDERED LISTS
The general HTML code looks like this: <UL TYPE=SHAPE>.
The SHAPE is what will be used in front of each line in the list. Use DISC, CIRCLE or SQUARE. The default is DISC(a bullet).
Each line in the list should start with <LI>.
End the list with </UL>.
- DEFINITION LISTS
The general HTML code looks like this: <DL>.
Each indented line in the definition should start with <DD>.
End the list with </DL>
**Hint: Since there is currently no accepted tag for indenting, you can use the tag <DD> in front of any line of text you want indented.
Some examples follow. The browser view is shown with the HTML text directly below.
Note: I will be asking you to create a "nested list" in your exercise. A nested list is a list within a list. I have printed an example of a nested list to the right for your understanding.
