Lists help organize content into readable, structured formats. HTML provides different list types for different needs. By understanding these, you can present information clearly and logically.

Key Topics

Basic Lists

Example: HTML provides unordered lists (<ul>) and ordered lists (<ol>) to arrange items, as well as other specialized lists.

<ul>
    <li>Item 1</li>
    <li>Item 2</li>
</ul>

Simple List Example

This example shows a basic unordered list. A code box is provided for a complete HTML sample.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" >
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" >
    <title>Simple List</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>My Shopping List</h1>
    <ul>
        <li>Apples</li>
        <li>Bread</li>
        <li>Milk</li>
    </ul>
</body>
</html>
