   Details the term in a description list. Types of HTML Lists There are three main types of lists in HTML 1. Using HTML Unordered List or Bulleted List Unordered lists are ideal for scenarios where the sequence of the items is not important. The unordered list items are marked with bullets, also known as bulleted lists. An unordered list starts with the

   tag, and each list item begins with the
   • tag. Attribute: This tag contains two attributes which are listed below: compact: It will render the list smaller. type: It specifies which kind of marker is used in the list.

     • Item 2
     • Item 3
     2. Using HTML Ordered List Ordered lists are used when the items need to follow a specific sequence. In an ordered list, all list items are marked with numbers by default. An ordered list starts with the
     tag, and each list item begins with the
     1. tag. Attributes: compact: It defines the list should be compacted (compact attribute is not supported in HTML5. Use CSS instead.). reversed: It defines that the order will be descending. start: It defines from which number or alphabet the order will start. type: It defines which type(1, A, a, I, and i) of the order you want in your list of numeric, alphabetic, or roman numbers.

        3. Using HTML Description List A description list is a list of terms, with a description of each term. Description lists are less common but very useful for definitions, glossaries, or any other key-value pairs of items. The

        tag defines the description list, the

        tag defines the term name, and the

        tag describes each term. Here,

        (description term) is used for the term being defined, and

        (description details) is used for the description.
