Another very useful little tool is a LIST. There are ORDERED lists and UNORDERED lists.

First, we will build an UNORDERED list. It's mind-numbingly simple...   really.

Start with this... 

<BODY>
What I want for Christmas
</BODY>


What I want for Christmas

(Technically we have not started to build the list yet. This is just a sort of heading.)

Add a pair of unordered list tags. 

<BODY>
What I want for Christmas
<UL>
</UL>
</BODY>


What I want for Christmas

Add a list item. 

<BODY>
What I want for Christmas
<UL>
<LI>a big red truck
</UL>
</BODY>


What I want for Christmas
  • a big red truck

Add a few more... 

<BODY>
What I want for Christmas
<UL>
<LI>a big red truck
<LI>a real fast speedboat
<LI>a drum set
<LI>a BB gun
<LI>a Melanie Griffith
</UL>
</BODY>


What I want for Christmas
  • a big red truck
  • a real fast speedboat
  • a drum set
  • a BB gun
  • a Melanie Griffith

Bingo! You made a list!

How to make an ordered list? Easy! Change the <UL> tag to <OL>. 

<BODY>
What I want for Christmas
<OL>
<LI>a big red truck
<LI>a real fast speedboat
<LI>a drum set
<LI>a BB gun
<LI>a Melanie Griffith
