Another very useful little tool is a LIST. There are ORDERED lists and UNORDERED lists.
This is an ordered list
- something big
- something small
- something short
- something tall
|
|
This is an unordered list
- something red
- something blue
- something old
- something new
|
First, we will build an UNORDERED list. It's mind-numbingly simple... really.
Start with this...
<BODY>
What I want for Christmas
</BODY>

What I want for Christmas
|
(Technically we have not started to build the list yet. This is just a sort of heading.)
Add a pair of unordered list tags.
<BODY>
What I want for Christmas
<UL>
</UL>
</BODY>

What I want for Christmas
|
Add a list item.
<BODY>
What I want for Christmas
<UL>
<LI>a big red truck
</UL>
</BODY>

What I want for Christmas
|
Add a few more...
<BODY>
What I want for Christmas
<UL>
<LI>a big red truck
<LI>a real fast speedboat
<LI>a drum set
<LI>a BB gun
<LI>a Melanie Griffith
</UL>
</BODY>

What I want for Christmas
- a big red truck
- a real fast speedboat
- a drum set
- a BB gun
- a Melanie Griffith

Bingo! You made a list!
How to make an ordered list? Easy! Change the <UL> tag to <OL>.
