                                      Creating Lists                   Creating Tables



                 Similar to MS Word, you can also create different types of lists and tables on the web pages in
                 HTML5. In the previous chapter, you have learnt the basic tags of HTML and their attributes. In
                 this chapter, you will learn how to create lists and tables in HTML5.
                     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 a list of items required for a festival and a
                 list of steps to make a dish. The list feature of HTML5 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 HTML5 to display the items in the form
                 of list.

                 CSS List Properties

                 CSS list properties are used to change the appearance of ordered and unordered lists in HTML5.
                 These properties with their values are given in the following table:

                    PROPERTY                          Value                                 Description
                  list-style-type  For ordered list: decimal,  lower-alpha,  Specifies the type of the list item
                                   upper-alpha, lower-roman, upper-roman marker.
                                   For unordered list: disc, circle, square
                 list-style-image URL of the image                              Specifies an image to be used as
                                                                                the list item marker instead of the
                                                                                default marker.
                 list-style-color  Colour name                                  Specifies the colour of the list
                                                                                item marker.

                 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.
