Lists are also an important feature. They allow the user to list down
information in point form. To use a list, click on the Insert
menu, the select Lists and Misc Tags , then you can select one of
the list types.
Ordered Lists allow the user to create a numbered list of the
information that you want to list. Now the List Type menu
should appear. Here you can select what type of ordered list that you want.
Here is an example:
(this is the default setting with the compact option removed)
<BODY>
Here are some popular vegetables that people eat: <P>
<OL> (this is the start of the ordered list)
<LI> Cabbage (this is the first item in the list)
<LI> Potatoes (this is the second item in the list)
<LI> Carrot (this is the third item in the list)
<LI> Turnip (this is the final item)
</OL> (end of the ordered list)
</BODY>
HERE is how this example looks.
Note that each NEW item MUST have <LI> infront of it.
Otherwise, the list will just contain one item.
Next is the Unordered List . This lists items in a point or
bullet form. When Unordered List is selected, another List
Type menu should appear. Here you can select the bullet type.
Here is an example.
(this example is done using the default settings)
Here are some popular vegtables that people eat:
<P>
<UL> (the beginning of the unordered list)
<LI> Cabbage (1st item in list)
<LI> Potatoes (2nd item in list)
<LI> Carrot (3rd item in list)
<LI> Turnip (4th item in list)
</UL> (end of unordered list)
HERE
is what the list looks like.
Next is the Definition List . This lists information a definition style. Definition Title and Definition Item are also used in this type of list.
Here is an example:
(this list has been made with the default setting and the compress off)
<DL> (beginning of definition list)
<DT> Cabbage (1st definition title)
<DD> Green leafy vegtable (1st definition item)
<DT> Potato (2nd definition title)
<DD> What french fries are made out of (2nd definition item)
<DT> Carrot (3rd definition title)
<DD> Orange vegetable that Bugs Bunny loves. (3rd definition item)
</DL> (end of definition list)
HERE
is the completed list.
You can even combine two lists into one.
Here is an example:
<UL> (an unordered list)
<LI> Cabbage
<OL> (an ordered list for cabbage)
<LI> Green (1st item about cabbage)
<LI> Leafy (2nd item about cabbage)
<LI> Vegetable (3rd item about cabbage)
</OL> (end of ordered list for cabbage)
<LI> Carrots (2nd item in unordered list)
<OL> (an ordered list for carrots)
<LI> Orange (1st item about carrots)
<LI> Vegetable (2nd item about carrots)
</OL> (end of ordered list for carrots)
</UL> (end of unordered list)
HERE
is what the list looks like.
