If you want to use a bulleted list (unordered list) set it up like this:

Here is my unordered list

(start the list with a UL tag, each item uses LI tags)
• list item a
• list item b
• list item c
• list item etc.

This would be the next paragraph after the list – I like to put a paragraph here just to make sure I didn’t forget to end the list

If you want an ORDERED list (numbered list), just change the UL to an OL, so…

Here is my ordered list

(start the list with an OL tag, each item uses LI tags)
1. list item 1
2. list item 2
3. list item 3
4. list item etc.

This would be the next paragraph after the list – again, I like to put a paragraph here just to make sure I didn’t forget to end the list

You can also “nest” lists, another words, put one list inside another. Here are a couple examples:

Here is an unordered list within an ordered list

(this starts the list)
1. list item 1
(this starts the list)
• list item a
• list item b
• list item c
• list item etc.
(this ends the list)
2. list item 2
(this starts the list)
• list item a
• list item b
• list item c
• list item etc.
(this ends the list)

This would be the next paragraph after the list – again, I like to put a paragraph here just to make sure I didn’t forget to end the list

Here is an ordered list within an unordered list

(this starts the list)
• list item a
(this starts the list)
1. list item 1
2. list item 2
3. list item 3
4. list item etc.
(this ends the list)
• list item b
(this starts the list)
1. list item 1
2. list item 2
3. list item 3
4. list item etc.
(this ends the list)

This would be the next paragraph after the list – again, I like to put a paragraph here just to make sure I didn’t forget to end the list

BTW, there is also something called a Dictionary (or Definition) List – it’s helpful to structure a list of terms:

Here is my Dictionary List

(this starts the list)

dictionary term A

dictionary definition for term A

dictionary term B

dictionary definition for term B

This would be the next paragraph after the list – I like to put a paragraph here just to make sure I didn’t forget to end the list

Finally, it’s always good to try a quick GOOGLE search if you have questions, e.g. I typed in HTML lists and came across this web site http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_lists.asp

Hope this helps
