An unordered list is a list of items. The list items are marked with bullets (typically small black circles).
An unordered list starts with the <ul> tag. Each list item starts with the <li> tag.
<ul> <li>Coffee</li> <li>Milk</li> </ul> |
Here is how it looks in a browser:
Inside a list item you can put paragraphs, line breaks, images, links, other lists, etc.
An ordered list is also a list of items. The list items are marked with numbers.
An ordered list starts with the <ol> tag. Each list item starts with the <li> tag.
<ol> <li>Coffee</li> <li>Milk</li> </ol> |

Inside a list item you can put paragraphs, line breaks, images, links, other lists, etc.
A definition list is not a list of items. This is a list of terms and explanation of the terms.
A definition list starts with the <dl> tag. Each definition-list term starts with the <dt> tag. Each definition-list definition starts with the <dd> tag.
<dl> <dt>Coffee</dt> <dd>Black hot drink</dd> <dt>Milk</dt> <dd>White cold drink</dd> </dl> |
