ptg1647605286 LESSON 5: Organizing Information with Lists
by default are presented bullets; and definition lists, which are presented as a series of
terms and the definitions associated with them.
Not only are there CSS properties specifically associated with lists, but lists can also be
styled using properties that apply to any block-level element, like lists and list items.
The full list of HTML tags discussed in this lesson is shown in Table 5.2, and the CSS
properties are shown in Table 5.3.TABLE 5.2 HTML Tags from Lesson 5
