Lists allow the user to list things in an orderly fashion.
The lists are located under the List menu. The most commonly
used ones are the Unordered List , Ordered List and
Definition List .
The Unordered List lists topics in an unordered list and places a "ball" or "bullet" net to them. The Unordered List can also be accessed using the U List button on the toolbar. The code is like this:
<UL> (beginning of unordered list)
<LI> first item in list
<LI> second item in list
<LI> third item in list
</UL> (end of unordered list)
The <LI> MUST be typed in before each new item in the unordered list. Otherwise, there will be only one item in the list.
Here is an example of an unordered list:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> Unordered Lists
</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
Here are some popular vegtables that people eat:
<UL>
<LI> Cabbage
<LI> Potatoes
<LI> Carrot
<LI> Turnip
</UL>
HERE
is what it would look like.
Ordered Lists numerically order the list. The code for this
is as follows:
<OL> (beginning of ordered list)
<LI> first item in list
<LI> second item in list
<LI> third item in list
</OL> (end of ordered list)
Here is the came example as above, but with an ordered list.
Here are some popular vegetables that people eat: <P>
<OL>
<LI> Cabbage
<LI> Potatoes
<LI> Carrot
<LI> Turnip
</OL>
HERE
is how this would look.
Next is the Definition List . The Definition List can also
be accessed by using the D List button on the toolbar. This
makes a list in the form a
definition title and the the definition. The definition is indented
further into the document that the definition title. This has the form:
<DL> (beginning of definition list)
<DT> first definition title
<DD> first definition
<DT> second definition title
<DD> second definition
<DT> third definition title
<DD> third definition
</DL> (end of definition list)
HERE
is how this would look
You can also use two or more list together by "embedding" one inside the other.
Here is an example:
<UL> (unordered list, the outermost list)
<LI> Cabbage (unordered list item 1)
<OL> (second list, an ordered list. This is going to be a list for item 1 of the unordered list)
<LI> Green (1st item in the ordered list)
<LI> Leafy (2nd item in the ordered list)
<LI> Vegetable (3rd item in the ordered list)
</OL> (the end of the ordered list)
<LI> Carrots (second item for the unordered list)
<OL> (beginning of a new ordered list for carrots)
<LI> Orange (1st item in the ordered list)
<LI> Vegetable (2nd item in ordered list)
</OL> (end of ordered list for carrots)
</UL> (end of unordered list for cabbage and carrots)
HERE
is what the list looks like.
