What Are the Different Types of Lists Available in HTML?

There are three types of lists in HTML:

1. Unordered List;
2. Ordered List;
3. Definition List.

Unordered List

Unordered lists are used to display a list of items in no particular order. Each item in the list is enclosed in an <li> tag and marked with a bullet point (or some other symbol).

For example:

<ul>
  <li>Item 1</li>
  <li>Item 2</li>
  <li>Item 3</li>
</ul>

This will produce an output like the following:

• Item 1
• Item 2
• Item 3

Ordered List

Ordered lists are used to display a list of items in a specific order, that are numbered or lettered. Each item in the list is enclosed in an <li> tag.

For example:

<ol>
  <li>Item 1</li>
  <li>Item 2</li>
  <li>Item 3</li>
</ol>

This will produce an output like the following:

1. Item 1
2. Item 2
3. Item 3

Definition List

Definition lists are used to display a list of terms and their corresponding definitions. Each term is enclosed in a <dt> tag and each definition is enclosed in a <dd> tag.

For example:

<dl>
  <dt>Term 1</dt>
  <dd>Definition 1</dd>
  <dt>Term 2</dt>
  <dd>Definition 2</dd>
  <dt>Term 3</dt>
  <dd>Definition 3</dd>
</dl>

This will produce an output like the following:

Term 1
  Definition 1
Term 2
  Definition 2
Term 3
  Definition 3
