Making Lists
ordered and unordered



Making lists is such a handy tool. They can be used to make indexes,display information by subject, or as a means to link to all kinds of things. It's nice sometimes to make them clickable.

It's a great way to present information in a neat and orderly fashion without having to repeatedly re-align text to fit. Once you enter the tags, the list puts itself in order.

Below you will see each list displayed and the codes for them. At the end there is an explaination of a couple of ways and places to make them clickable. That code will work on any list.



Unordered Lists

If you will notice, the <<>ul> and <<>/ul> tags contain the whole list, and the <<>li> and <<>/li> tags designate each item in the list. Each item gets a symbol in front of it automatically.

  • Item 1
  • Item 2
  • Item 3
  • Item 4


This Is The Code:

<<>ul> <<>li>Item 1<<>/li> <<>li>Item 2<<>/li> <<>li>Item 3<<>/li> <<>li>Item 4<<>/li> <<>/ul>

For a square as the symbol, use <<>ul type="square">

See what that looks like below.

  • Item 1
  • Item 2
  • Item 3
  • Item 4


Now pay attention on this next one, 'cuz it's just a bit on the silly side !

For a triangle as the symbol, use <<>ul type="circle">

Yeah I know, huhhh ???

That's just the way it is. On a computer it would appear as a circle with an indented center, but on WebTV it appears as what I call a "lazy triangle", it kinda tipped over !!

Here's what it looks like

  • Item 1
  • Item 2
  • Item 3
  • Item 4
