LESSON 5

Organizing Informati on

with Lists

In the previous lesson, you learned about the basic elements that make
up a web page. In this lesson, I introduce lists, which, unlike the other
tags that have been discussed thus far, are composed of multiple tags
that work together. As you’ll see, lists come in a variety of types and can
be used not only for traditional purposes, like shopping lists or bulleted
lists, but also for creating outlines or even navigation for websites. In this
lesson, you’ll learn the following:

n How to create numbered lists

n How to create bulleted lists

n How to create definition lists

n The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) properties associated with lists
