Similar to MS Word, you can also create lists and tables on the web pages in HTML. HTML allows
you to create different types of lists and tables. In the previous class, you have learned the basic

HTML.
i + CREATING LISTS
A list is a collection of related items that can be used to represent information in pointed form. In
our daily routine, we have to write many things such as list of items required for a festival and list
of steps to make a dish. List feature of HTML allows us to display this type of information on the
web page in an organised manner. There are three types of lists named ordered list, unordered
list and definition list that can be created in HTML to display the items in the form of list. Let us
learn about these in detail.
Ordered List
An ordered list is also called the numbered list. This type of list is used to display the items in a
sequential manner. For example, steps in an algorithm, etc. In HTML, the <OL> tag is used to
create an ordered list.
The <LI> tag is used to define an item in the list. It can be used as an empty tag as well as a
container tag. The <OL> tag have two attributes named TYPE and START which you can use in
the following way:
• <OL Type ="A"> - will start the list from A.
• <OL Type ="a" Start=”4”> - will start the list from d.
• <OL Type ="1" Start=”25”> - will start the list from 25.
