Lists and Horizontal Rules
Lists
Lists allow you to organize information on a Web page.
Ordered (Numbered) Lists |
To automatically create numbered lists use the <OL> ("ordered list") tag, and put an <LI> tag (for "list item") by each item
on your list. |
Example |
- Item 1
- Item 2
- Item 3
| Source |
<OL>
<LI>Item 1
<LI>Item 2
<LI>Item 3
</OL>
|
Explanation |
The <OL> tag starts the list. The <LI> tags show where a number would appear on the next list item. The <OL> tag ends the list. |
If you'd like something else to replace the numbers, add:
TYPE=I for Roman numerals (capitals)
TYPE=i for Roman numerals (lower-case)
TYPE=A for letters (capitals)
TYPE=a for letters (lower-case)
to the <OL> tag
|
Use ordered lists when the items you want to put in a list have to be in order, such as step-by step instructions. There is another type of list called the un-ordered list. |
Un-ordered (Bulleted) Lists |
To create bulleted lists use the <UL> ("un-ordered list") tag. Again you should put an <LI> tag by each item
on your list. |
Example |
| Source |
<UL>
<LI>Item
<LI>Item
<LI>Item
</UL>
|
If you'd like something else to replace the round bullets, add:
TYPE=CIRCLE for circle bullets
TYPE=SQUARE for square bullets
to the <UL> tag
|
Horizontal Rules
This one's easy. To add a horizontal rule to your page, just use <HR>. Example:
There. I just created a horizontal rule. Use these objects to make sections on your Web page.
