Lists!
Why lists? well...
- because lists own
- they are orderly
- they help organize data easily
- they look neat
- you get to see "bullets"
see?
to do that in html it's a two step process. the first step is to
let html know your doing a list, with one of two tags
: <ul> for "unordered list" or <ol> for
ordered list.
then, for everything on the list, you would precede it
with the list tag <li>
then you tell the browser that you're not making a
list anymore with the closing tag </ul>
or </ol>
two lists.
<ul>
<li> wash hair
<li> wash car
<li> wash dog
<li> brush teeth
<li> shave cat
<li> etc
<li> etc
<li> etc.
</ul>
- wash hair
- wash car
- wash dog
- brush teeth
- shave cat
- etc
- etc
- etc.
you can also make lists within lists by inserting multiple OL or UL tags (and closing tags. )
here is a complex list – view source to see how the placement of OL and UL within the lists allow for more complex lists.
- wash hair
- wet
- lather
- rinse
- wash car
- wet
- lather
- use car soap, not shampoo
- do quickly so soap doesn't set
- try not to get too drunk this time
- rinse
- wax
- wash dog
- use brush on feet
- clip nails
- brush teeth
- don't use same brush as one used to wash dog
- don't swallow toothpaste
- you get the picture
