Regular Lists


A regular list is a sequence of paragraphs, each of which may be preceded by a special mark, sequence number, or nothing at all. The syntax is
<UL>
  <LI> list element
  <LI> another list element ...
</UL>
Where the opening element defining the list type can be one of
  • UL -- A list of multi-line paragraphs, listed separately and usually marked by a bullet or similar symbol (Unordered List)
  • OL -- A list of multi-line paragraphs, listed separately and ordered numerically in some way (Ordered List)


  • Here are two examples, showing the rendering for the two different types. The text we will format is as follows:
    Hi.  The following is an example list.
    <UL>
      <LI> list element.  The quick brown fox jumped over the 
      lazy dog.  The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.
      The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.
      The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.
      The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.
      <LI> another list element ...
    </UL>
    
    The following two examples use the two possible list elements UL and OL.
