Similar to MS Word, you can also create different types of lists and tables on the web pages 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.
