Lists and Tables

Lists
The two types of lists that will be discussed are ordered lists and unordered lists.

Ordered Lists
To create an ordered list, type <OL><LI>Item 1<LI>Item 2<LI>Item 3</OL>.
Example: You would type: <OL><LI>Make 1st Left<LI>Make next right<LI>Pull into the second house on the left</OL> and your web page visitors would see:

  1. Make 1st Left
  2. Make next right
  3. Pull into the second house on the left

Unordered Lists
To create an unordered list, type <UL><LI>Item 1<LI>Item 2<LI>Item 3</UL>.
Example: You would type: <UL><LI>Make 1st Left<LI>Make next right<LI>Pull into the second house on the left</UL> and your web page visitors would see:

  • Make 1st Left
  • Make next right
  • Pull into the second house on the left

Tables
To create a table in your web page, you will use the following codes <Table>, <TR>, and <TD>. The <Table> code states that a table is starting. The <TR> code will be used every time you want a row in your table. The <TD> code will be used every time you want a column within that row.
Example: You would type: <Table><TR><TD>Column 1 Heading</TD><TD>Column 2 Heading</TD></TR><TR><TD>Information #1</TD><TD>Information #2</TD></TR></Table> and your web page visitors would see:

Column 1 HeadingColumn 2 Heading
