HTML - Lists (Overview)

Overview

Estimated time: 20–30 minutes

Lists organize items and terms. Use unordered lists for bullets, ordered lists for sequences, and definition lists for term/description pairs.

Examples

<ul><li>Item</li></ul>
<ol><li>First</li></ol>
<dl><dt>Term</dt><dd>Definition</dd></dl>

Common Pitfalls

• Using lists purely for indentation—prefer CSS for layout.
• Nesting lists without proper structure.
