Unordered List
An unordered list is an unnumbered list. Unordered lists simply have a plain (or not so plain) bullet point for each item in the list. As the name suggests, unordered lists are not ordered - whether by number, letter, or any other ordering system.
Unordered lists are created using the <ul> tag (to define the list) combined with the <li> tag (to define each item in the list).
Here's an example of an unordered list:
Ordered List
Ordered lists are ordered by an ordering system (eg, numbers, letters, etc).
Ordered lists are created using the <ol> tag (to define the list) combined with the <li> tag (to define each item in the list).
Definition List
Definition lists are similar to other lists but in a definition list, each list item contains two or more entries; a term and at least one description.
Definition lists are created using the HTML <dl> tag (to define the list) combined with the <dt> tag (to define each term in the list) and the <dd> (to define the description, definition, or value of the term).
Here are two examples of <dl> usage.
- Example 1: Contains a list of terms and their definitions.
- Example 2: Here, a term is linked to three values.
