Creating Lists

You will most likely have the need to create a list before too long. Although it is not necessary, you will probably wish to begin with a title. This can be its own item, as it is technically, not part of the list. You may then add your list items. It is not necessary to add a closing List Item tag(</LI>) to each item. You will, however, need to add the closing List tag (</UL> or </OL>). There are two kinds of lists: ordered and unordered.

This is an ordered list

Wake
Eat
Feed Armadillo
Shower

This is an unordered list

Cereal
Juice
Liver & Anchovies
Blueberry Muffin

Unordered Lists

Unordered lists are generally bulleted lists and denote multiple items of equal importance.

<BODY>
Things to do today
<UL>
<LI>Wash Dog
<LI>Wash Hair
<LI>Wash Car
<LI>Paint Horse
<LI>Wash Hands
</UL>
</BODY>

This will display:
Things to do today
* Wash Dog
* Wash Hair
* Wash Car
* Paint Horse
* Wash Hands

Ordered Lists

Ordered lists are numbered and generally denote sequential items or those that would be ranked in some way. These are constructed in the same way as unordered lists (except with the Ordered List tags of course).

<BODY>
Things to do today
<OL>
<LI>Wash Dog
<LI>Wash Hair
<LI>Wash Car
<LI>Paint Horse
<LI>Wash Hands
</OL>
</BODY>

This will display:
1. Things to do today
2. Wash Dog
3. Wash Hair
4. Wash Car
5. Paint Horse
6. Wash Hands
