HTML lists are like the unsung heroes of web development. They might seem simple, but they play a crucial role in structuring content on the web. In this guide, we’ll take a deep dive into HTML lists, exploring the different types and how to use them effectively in your web projects.
The Basics: Ordered and Unordered Lists
Unordered Lists
Unordered lists are great when order doesn’t matter, and you just want to present a collection of items. The HTML structure is quite intuitive:<ul> <li>Item 1</li> <li>Item 2</li> <li>Item 3</li> </ul>
Each list item (<li>
) is wrapped in an unordered list (<ul>
). When you view this in a browser, you’ll get bullet points next to each item.
