HTML li Tag
The information on this page is based on HTML version 4.01 (which is the current version of HTML). The next version, HTML 5, is currently being written. Here's a list of HTML 5 tags.
The HTML li tag is used for specifying a list item in ordered, unordered, directory, and menu lists.
To create a list item, nest this element within a ul tag (for an unordered list), ol tag (for an ordered list), menu tag (for a menu list), or dir tag (for a directory list).
| Example |
<ul>
<li>ol - ordered list</li>
<li>ul - unordered list</li>
<li>dir - directory list (deprecated)</li>
<li>menu - menu list (deprecated)</li>
</ul>
