Basic HTML Tags -- Numbered Lists: Ordered Lists <OL>

In your text editor, enter the text below and save it as "sample8.html" on your floppy disk. Then return to Netscape and load the file.

This is an ordered list.
<OL>
<LI>apples
<LI>bananas
<LI>cranberries
<LI>oranges
</OL>
 

What am I supposed to see? sample8.html

Two major types of lists which can be created in HTML are the Ordered (numbered) and Unordered (not numbered) lists. Both types use List Items <LI>. Lists are automatically indented with a blank line before and after the entire list. Each list item is placed on a new line, so you do not have to put breaks or paragraph marks inside lists unless you want the extra space.
