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.
