HTML PROVIDES AN ASSORTMENT OF TAGS FOR ORGANIZING INFORMATION TO BE DISPLAYED AS A LIST. AMONG OTHERS:

  1. < OL > IS USED TO CREATE AN "ORDERED" LIST (THIS LIST OF TAGS IS FORMATTED USING < OL >).

  2. < UL > IS USED TO CREATE AN "UNORDERED" LIST. MEMBER OF SUCH LISTS ARE TYPICALLY FORMATTED WITH "BULLETS" (AS SEEN IN A PRECEDING SLIDE).

  3. < DL > IS USED TO CREATE AN "DEFINITION" LIST. EACH MEMBER IS A PAIR CONSISTING OF THE TERM BEING DEFINED AND THE DEFINITION. (HERE IS A SAMPLE USING <DL>.)

  4. < MENU > AND < DIR > (WHICH I WON'T TALK ABOUT) PRODUCE COMPACT UNORDERED LISTS.
