HTML 5 <li> tag
Definition and Usage
The <li> tag defines the start of a list item. The <li> tag is
used in both ordered (<ol>) and unordered lists (<ul>).
Differences Between HTML 4.01 and HTML 5
The "type" and "value" attributes were deprecated in HTML 4.01.
The "type" attribute is no longer supported in HTML5
The "value" attribute is no longer deprecated in HMTL 5, but can only be used
with the <ol> element
Tips and Notes
