Unordered Lists

Unordered lists (<ul>) display items with bullet points, making them ideal for lists without a specific sequence. Common use cases include shopping lists, feature lists, or simple navigations.

Key Topics

Basic UL Usage

Example: A simple unordered list with default bullet points.

<ul>
    <li>Item A</li>
    <li>Item B</li>
    <li>Item C</li>
</ul>

Customizing Bullets

Example: Using CSS list-style-type to change the bullet style.

<style>
ul {
    list-style-type: square;
}
</style>

    <style>
        ul {
            list-style-type: square;
        }

    <h1>Features</h1>
    <ul>
        <li>High Quality</li>
        <li>Affordable</li>
