An Unordered List is a bullet list: use <UL>...</UL>, with <LI> for each List Item (the <LI> will use a symbol for the list element, in this case the default is a bullet):
An example:
Here are the days of the workweek:
- Monday
- Tuesday
- Wednesday
- Thursday
- Friday
would be coded as:
Here are the days of the workweek: <UL> <LI>Monday <LI>Tuesday <LI>Wednesday <LI>Thursday <LI>Friday </UL>
An example without the berger dots:
Here are the days of the workweek:
Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday
would be coded as :
Here are the days of the workweek: <UL> Monday<BR> Tuesday<BR> Wednesday<BR> Thursday<BR> Friday<BR> </UL>
Note that without the <LI> there is no use of a symbol bullet. Also, a <BR> is
needed in this case to cause each element to be on a different line.
An Ordered List is a numbered list: use <OL>...</OL>, with <LI> for each List Item:
An example:
Here are the days of the workweek:
- Monday
- Tuesday
- Wednesday
- Thursday
- Friday
would be coded as:
Here are the days of the workweek: <OL> <LI><I>Monday <LI>Tuesday</I> <LI>Wednesday <LI><B>Thursday</B> <LI>Friday </OL>
Note the use of bold and italic tags to add some variety to this example.
A Definition List is not based on list items. They are instead based on term-definition pairs. Use <DL>...</DL>, with <DT> as Definition-list Term, and <DD> as Definition-list Definition:
An example:
- Doe
- a deer, a female deer
- Ray
- a drop of golden sun
would be coded as:
<DL> <DT>Doe <DD>a deer, a female deer <DT>Ray <DD>a drop of golden sun </DL>
By using the attribute "COMPACT" via: <DL COMPACT>, the definition is placed on the same line as the term:
- Doe
- a deer, a female deer
- Ray
- a drop of golden sun
An example:
Here are special days and hours:
- Monday
- 8am - 11am
- 12n - 5pm
- Tuesday
- Wednesday
- 9am - 12n
- 1pm - 6pm
- Thursday
- Friday
would be coded as:
Here are special days and hours: <UL> <LI>Monday <UL> <LI>8am - 11am <LI>12n - 5pm </UL> <LI>Tuesday <LI>Wednesday <UL> <LI>9am - 12n <LI>1pm - 6pm </UL> <LI>Thursday <LI>Friday </UL>
