How to Create a List or List in HTML

In writing activities, sometimes you need to use lists to convey information to readers. The use of lists helps you so that information can be conveyed easily, for example, a list of events, a list of restaurant menus, a list of jobs and so on. To meet these needs, HTML provides some special tags for it.

In this discussion, I will explain about how to create a list in HTML using an ordered list and an unordered list. In short, an ordered list is used to create an ordered list using the tag

    while the unordered list is used to create an unordered list using the tag

      .

      For more details, let’s see the explanation below:

      A. Ordered List

      An ordered list is a list where the items in it have an order number. Using an ordered list starts with the tag

        and ends with the tag

      where between the two tags there is a tag

    • ……
    • as list items. Inside tags

        , there are several attributes, namely:

        AttributeFunction
        type=”A”Create an ordered list with uppercase letters ( A, B, C, D, ….. )
        type=”a”Create an ordered list with lowercase letters ( a, b, c, d, …. )
        type=”I”Make a list in uppercase Roman letters ( I, II, III, IV, ….. )
        type=”i”Create an ordered list in lowercase roman letters ( i, ii, iii, iv, ……. )
        type=”1″Create a sequential list with numbers ( 1, 2, 3, 4, …… )
        compactIndicates that the items in the list are short so that the browser displays them in a more compact form (this attribute is not supported in many browsers)
        start=”n”Specifies the initial value of the item in the list where n = initial value

        You need to know, by default if you don’t write list type in tag

          then the type of list that will appear in a lift format such as 1, 2, 3, and so on. The following is an example of writing code and using an ordered list:

          After you run the code above in the browser it will appear as shown below:

          ordered_list

          You can also create an ordered list in CSS by using the list-style-type property as shown below:

          AttributeFunction
          list-style-type: upper-alpha;Create an ordered list with uppercase letters ( A, B, C, D, ….. )
          list-style-type: lower-alpha;Create an ordered list with lowercase letters ( a, b, c, d, …. )
          list-style-type: upper-roman;Make a list in uppercase Roman letters ( I, II, III, IV, ….. )
          list-style-type: lower-roman;Create an ordered list in lowercase roman letters ( i, ii, iii, iv, ……. )
          list-style-type: decimal;Create a sequential list with numbers ( 1, 2, 3, 4, …… )

          Here’s a sample code for using the list-style-type property to create an ordered list:

          When run in a browser, it will look like this:

          B. Unordered List

          An unordered list is a list where the items in it are not given a sequence number, in other words the items appear arbitrary. The use of an unordered list is indicated by the use of the tag

            as prefix and tag

          as a suffix and between the two there is a tag

        1. as list items.

          In general, the use of unordered lists is indicated by a black circle, circle , and box at the beginning of the list item. Tags

            has several attributes including:

            AttributeFunction
            type=”disc”Create a black circle for the item (default if the type attribute is not specified)
            type=”circle”Make white circle marks for items
            type=”square”Make checkboxes for items

            You need to know, by default if you don’t write list type in tag

              then the type of list that will appear is a black circle (disc). The following is an example of writing code and using an unordered list in HTML:

              Similar to ordered lists, to create unordered lists in CSS you can use the list-style-type property but with value different:

              AttributeFunction
              list-style-type: disc;Make black circle marks for items
              list-style-type: circle;Make white circle marks for items
              list-style-type: square;Make checkboxes for items
