                                             Ordered and Unordered lists in HTML

HTML offers web authors three ways for specifying lists of information. All lists must contain one or more list elements. Lists may contain −
  • <ul> − An unordered list. This will list items using plain bullets.
  • <ol> − An ordered list. This will use different schemes of numbers to list your items.
  • <dl> − A definition list. This arranges your items in the same way as they are arranged in a dictionary.

HTML Unordered Lists

An unordered list is a collection of related items that have no special order or sequence. This list is created by using HTML <ul> tag. Each item in the list is marked with a bullet.

Example


<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

   <head>
      <title>HTML Unordered List</title>
   </head>
 
   <body>
      <ul>
         <li>Beetroot</li>
         <li>Ginger</li>
         <li>Potato</li>
         <li>Radish</li>
      </ul>
   </body>
   
</html>
This will produce the following result −
  • Beetroot
  • Ginger
  • Potato
  • Radish

The type Attribute

You can use type attribute for <ul> tag to specify the type of bullet you like. By default, it is a disc. Following are the possible options −
<ul type = "square">
<ul type = "disc">
<ul type = "circle">

Example

Following is an example where we used <ul type = "square">

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

   <head>
      <title>HTML Unordered List</title>
   </head>

   <body>
      <ul type = "square">
         <li>Beetroot</li>
         <li>Ginger</li>
         <li>Potato</li>
         <li>Radish</li>
      </ul>
   </body>

</html>
This will produce the following result −

  • Beetroot
  • Ginger
  • Potato
  • Radish

Example

Following is an example where we used <ul type = "disc"> −

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

   <head>
      <title>HTML Unordered List</title>
   </head>
 
   <body>
      <ul type = "disc">
         <li>Beetroot</li>
         <li>Ginger</li>
         <li>Potato</li>
         <li>Radish</li>
      </ul>
   </body>

</html>
This will produce the following result −

  • Beetroot
  • Ginger
  • Potato
  • Radish

Example

Following is an example where we used <ul type = "circle"> −

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

   <head>
      <title>HTML Unordered List</title>
   </head>

   <body>
      <ul type = "circle">
         <li>Beetroot</li>
         <li>Ginger</li>
         <li>Potato</li>
         <li>Radish</li>
      </ul>
   </body>
 
</html>
This will produce the following result −

  • Beetroot
  • Ginger
  • Potato
  • Radish

HTML Ordered Lists

If you are required to put your items in a numbered list instead of bulleted, then HTML ordered list will be used. This list is created by using <ol> tag. The numbering starts at one and is incremented by one for each successive ordered list element tagged with <li>.

Example


<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

   <head>
      <title>HTML Ordered List</title>
   </head>

   <body>
      <ol>
         <li>Beetroot</li>
         <li>Ginger</li>
         <li>Potato</li>
         <li>Radish</li>
      </ol>
   </body>

</html>
This will produce the following result −

  1. Beetroot
  2. Ginger
  3. Potato
  4. Radish

The type Attribute

You can use type attribute for <ol> tag to specify the type of numbering you like. By default, it is a number. Following are the possible options −
<ol type = "1"> - Default-Case Numerals.
<ol type = "I"> - Upper-Case Numerals.
<ol type = "i"> - Lower-Case Numerals.
<ol type = "A"> - Upper-Case Letters.
<ol type = "a"> - Lower-Case Letters.

Example

Following is an example where we used <ol type = "1">

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

   <head>
      <title>HTML Ordered List</title>
   </head>

   <body>
      <ol type = "1">
         <li>Beetroot</li>
         <li>Ginger</li>
         <li>Potato</li>
         <li>Radish</li>
      </ol>
   </body>

</html>
This will produce the following result −

  1. Beetroot
  2. Ginger
  3. Potato
  4. Radish

Example

Following is an example where we used <ol type = "I">

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

   <head>
      <title>HTML Ordered List</title>
   </head>
 
   <body>
      <ol type = "I">
         <li>Beetroot</li>
         <li>Ginger</li>
         <li>Potato</li>
         <li>Radish</li>
      </ol>
   </body>
 
</html>
This will produce the following result −

  1. Beetroot
  2. Ginger
  3. Potato
  4. Radish

Example

Following is an example where we used <ol type = "i">

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
   
   <head>
      <title>HTML Ordered List</title>
   </head>
 
   <body>
      <ol type = "i">
         <li>Beetroot</li>
         <li>Ginger</li>
         <li>Potato</li>
         <li>Radish</li>
      </ol>
   </body>
 
</html>
This will produce the following result −

  1. Beetroot
  2. Ginger
  3. Potato
  4. Radish

Example

Following is an example where we used <ol type = "A" >

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

   <head>
      <title>HTML Ordered List</title>
   </head>
 
   <body>
      <ol type = "A">
         <li>Beetroot</li>
         <li>Ginger</li>
         <li>Potato</li>
         <li>Radish</li>
      </ol>
   </body>
 
</html>
This will produce the following result −

  1. Beetroot
  2. Ginger
  3. Potato
  4. Radish

Example

Following is an example where we used <ol type = "a">

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
   
   <head>
      <title>HTML Ordered List</title>
   </head>
 
   <body>
      <ol type = "a">
         <li>Beetroot</li>
         <li>Ginger</li>
         <li>Potato</li>
         <li>Radish</li>
      </ol>
   </body>
 
</html>
This will produce the following result −

  1. Beetroot
  2. Ginger
  3. Potato
  4. Radish

The start Attribute

You can use start attribute for <ol> tag to specify the starting point of numbering you need. Following are the possible options −
<ol type = "1" start = "4">    - Numerals starts with 4.
<ol type = "I" start = "4">    - Numerals starts with IV.
<ol type = "i" start = "4">    - Numerals starts with iv.
<ol type = "a" start = "4">    - Letters starts with d.
<ol type = "A" start = "4">    - Letters starts with D.

Example

Following is an example where we used <ol type = "i" start = "4" >

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

   <head>
      <title>HTML Ordered List</title>
   </head>
 
   <body>
      <ol type = "i" start = "4">
         <li>Beetroot</li>
         <li>Ginger</li>
         <li>Potato</li>
         <li>Radish</li>

   </body>
 
</html>
This will produce the following result −
  1. Beetroot
  2. Ginger
  3. Potato
  4. Radish

HTML Definition Lists

HTML and XHTML supports a list style which is called definition lists where entries are listed like in a dictionary or encyclopedia. The definition list is the ideal way to present a glossary, list of terms, or other name/value list.
Definition List makes use of following three tags.
  • <dl> − Defines the start of the list
  • <dt> − A term
  • <dd> − Term definition
  • </dl> − Defines the end of the list

Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

   <head>
      <title>HTML Definition List</title>
   </head>
 
   <body>
      <dl>
         <dt><b>HTML</b></dt>
         <dd>This stands for Hyper Text Markup Language</dd>
         <dt><b>HTTP</b></dt>
         <dd>This stands for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol</dd>
      </dl>
   </body>
 
</html>
This will produce the following result −


HTML


This stands for Hyper Text Markup Language


HTTP


This stands for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol

Images are very important to beautify as well as to depict many complex concepts in simple way on your web page. This tutorial will take you through simple steps to use images in your web pages.

Insert Image

You can insert any image in your web page by using <img> tag. Following is the simple syntax to use this tag.
<img src = "Image URL" ... attributes-list/>
The <img> tag is an empty tag, which means that, it can contain only list of attributes and it has no closing tag.

Example

To try following example, let's keep our HTML file test.htm and image file test.png in the same directory −
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

   <head>
      <title>Using Image in Webpage</title>
   </head>
 
   <body>
      <p>Simple Image Insert</p>
      <img src = "/html/images/test.png" alt = "Test Image" />
   </body>
 
</html>
