Q159- What are the different types of lists in HTML?

HTML provides three main types of lists to organize content:

---

1️⃣ Ordered List (<ol>)

• Displays items in a specific order, usually numbered.
• Each item uses <li> (list item).
• Can customize numbering with type attribute (1, A, a, I, i).

Example:

<ol>
  <li>First item</li>
  <li>Second item</li>
  <li>Third item</li>
</ol>

Output:

1. First item
2. Second item
3. Third item

---

2️⃣ Unordered List (<ul>)

• Displays items without a specific order, usually with bullets.
• Each item uses <li>.

Example:

<ul>
  <li>Apple</li>
  <li>Banana</li>
  <li>Orange</li>
</ul>

Output:

• Apple
• Banana
• Orange

---

3️⃣ Definition List (<dl>)

• Used for term-definition pairs.
• <dt> → defines the term
• <dd> → defines the description

Example:

<dl>
  <dt>HTML</dt>
  <dd>HyperText Markup Language</dd>
  <dt>CSS</dt>
  <dd>Cascading Style Sheets</dd>
</dl>

Output:
HTML
  HyperText Markup Language
CSS
  Cascading Style Sheets

---

💡 In Short:

1. <ol> → ordered (numbers, letters, roman numerals)
2. <ul> → unordered (bullets)
3. <dl> → definition lists (term + description)

These lists help organize content clearly and semantically on web pages.
