Ordered lists are created almost the same way as unordered lists. Instead, you should use unordered lists. Definition Lists Definition lists are slightly more complicated then unordered and ordered lists. This is why the html for definition lists is somewhat different from other lists. Don't feel that you can only use the definition list for defining terms though, it is only called that because that is what the list looks like.
Definition lists can be very useful in other circumstances as well.
In this example you can see why indenting list items is so important to keeping track of what's going on. This is the exact same html as before but just by not starting new lines, or indenting the work, the html has become nearly impossible to follow. Even if you can read html quite well, you would have problems with this. If you ever work with someone else on a project, it is especially important to make sure that the html is easy to read.
