HTML has provisions for various kinds of lists. Not more than 20 characters per element are recommended, as the list may be arranged by the browser in several columns. In an ordered list, each entry in the list is given a continuous number. This can be a digit, a letter or even a Roman numeral. A definition list is used for defining terms.
Lists are easy to use and a good layout tool.
Use them to make your pages easily readable. Especially Definition Lists, with their automatic indenting can be very useful. Copyright of material rests with the individual author. Articles may be reprinted by other user groups if the author and original publication are credited. The mention of names of products without indication of Trademark or Registered Trademark status in no way implies that these products are not so protected by law.
