Using Lists

	When you have finished this project, you will be able to:
	create a Web page that uses lists
	describe the circumstances under which each type of list would be used
	describe the following terms: ordered list unordered list descriptive list

1. Often, a web page will need to list a series of items in a column. There are three types of lists for which there are HTML tags:
   • Ordered
   • Unordered
   • Descriptive
     
     
   The above list is an example of an unordered list.

2. An Ordered List looks like this:
   
   
   1. Ordered
   2. Unordered
   3. Descriptive
      
      
3. A Descriptive List looks like this:

   
   Ordered

   You can include a description

   Unordered

   You can include a description

   Descriptive

   You can include a description

4. The example below illustrates the required code for each type of list:
   
   Unordered List
   
   
   Ordered List
   
   
   
   Descriptive List
   
   
   
   The <DT> means Descriptive Title
   The <DD> means Descriptive Definition
   
   
5. There are variations to some of the lists that allow more control over the list. For example, an Ordered List can be set to start at a number other than 1 by using the START tag:
   
   To Start an Ordered List at #5
   
   
   
6. An Ordered List can also consist of Roman Numerals by using the TYPE tag:
   
   To have an Ordered List use Roman Numerals
   
   
   
   
7. Make a new folder on your personal drive called Lists.
   
   
8. Create a single web page that uses all three types of lists, and the three variations of an Ordered List (that's 5 lists in total). You should use several of the other HTML tags and features that you have learned before.
