Ul

<UL> </UL>

The UL tag makes unordered lists. Every part of the list is marked with LI, and shows up with a bullet in front of it. If you need numbering, use OL for an ordered list. The type of bullet to be shown can be adjusted with the TYPE attribute. You have three possible styles: "disc" for a closed bullet, "square" for an open square and "circle" for an open bullet. The COMPACT attribute is used when the items in the list are short, so the browser can render the list more compact. It could do this by putting more than one part of the list on a line. You should not put anything but LI list items inside a UL. The COMPACT attribute isn't used very widely, so it doesn't always work. Not all browsers support the TYPE attribute, so if you use it, make sure the list still "works" without it.

Now some examples:

<ul><li>item one<p><ul><li>item two<p><ul><li>item three

That makes this:

  • item one

    • item two

      • item three

        Examples of the different styles of bullets:

        <ul><li type="disc">Hey

        <ul><li type="square">Hey

        <ul><li type="circle">Hey

        <ul><li compact>Hey
