Ordered [Numbered] Lists: <OL>
This will create a numbered list starting with 1. It also indents.
Here's the code:

Here are the results:
  1. Apples
  2. Bananas
  3. Figs
  4. Pears

Each <LI> creates a new numbered item.


To start a list with a number other than 1 we can use the start attribute.
For example, we can start with the number five.
Here's the code:

Here are the results:
  1. Apples
  2. Bananas
  3. Figs
  4. Pears



To start a list with something other than numbers, we can use the type attribute.
For example, we can use Alphabets:
Here's the code:

Here are the results:
  1. Apples
  2. Bananas
  3. Figs
  4. Pears


Here are the different types of lists you can use:
Value Style Example
1 Arabic 1, 2, 3, 4...
A Uppercase alpha A, B, C, D...
a Lowercase alpha a, b, c, d...
I Uppercase Roman I, II, III, IV...
i Lowercase Roman i, ii, iii, iv...



You can also use nested lists.
For example, we can nest a Roman list inside an Arabic list.
Here's the code:

Here are the results:
  1. Apples
    1. Red
    2. Green
    3. Yellow
  2. Bananas
  3. Figs
  4. Pears



If we do not have a need for a numbered list, we can use an unordered list. This will list items without numbers.
Here's the code:

Here are the results:

You can also nest them the same way as Ordered Lists.


We can choose the type of bullet with the type attribute.
Here's the code:

Here are the results:

You can use "disc", "square", or "circle" bullet types.
