Alright, welcome back to code isn't as scary as zombies. Here we're talking about lists and listing the weaknesses. Anything else you want to list first, organizing zombies. So lists are a great way to continue to make your content more skimmable. They allow you to sort of sets and things off, as well as just make it easier for people to pull out the content that's important. html itself has three kinds of lists.
There's an ordered list and an unordered list and a description, or form of the definition list. All of them are made up of two or more elements description list is made up of three. Well ordered an unordered are made up of two separate elements. So for instance, if we're doing a an ordered list, we start with an ol then we have our first list item, our second list item, third, however many we have. And finally we end with a closing Well, with ordered list, you can actually change the numerals used. decimals are the default but you can Also do lowercase alphabetic, like ABCD, you can do Roman numerals like i, i, b, etc.
You can also do capitalize versions of those. So a capital A, the type is a capital alphabetic and capitalize capital Roman numerals, you also change the start of the numbers by using the start attribute. And just setting that to whatever number value the list starts with. So if you need to start the list at seven, you just have start equals quotation marks seven. You can also do unordered lists, and they are very similar to order list except they use an ul instead of an O L, but they still both use the same Li. So for instance, we start with a ul here we have our Li item just like we do with an O L. And we have as many of those as we need.
And then we close it with the UL description lists are a little bit different. They have a list of terms and descriptions. So you'll have a two different things that you're listing, right html5 was called the definition list, but they changed it to description list is sort of widen the scope and I'll use it for more things. The outer realm is dl for description list the designated term, or the element for the term is dt, and the element for the description is DD. So it works similarly. So we start with DL, we have our dt, we have DD, whatever the description should be, then we can do another te DD, dt, dd, etc, and then close off with our closing te L. So let's take a look at how this would work.
First of all we'll look at o ELLs. So here again, we have our o l, we have our allies, we wanted to say start with seven. We could do that should be in quotation marks that might also work without them. So you can see it starts with seven there. I can also do type equals I and you can see I'm starting at seven and it starts with the seventh Roman news. All right there.
So we have the URL, we have it start and type you can play with that. Next we have our unordered list, which has again, a ul and Li begins with the type. So you can also change the URL type. So for instance, I can put in a square and it makes square ones. disk is the normal bullet. And you can change that as needed.
Moving on to definition lists or description lists. So we have here again, our do our DT Walker ddx of zombie, still walk, shuffle. If crawler its definition or description. And of course, PFC Wiggins, our intrepid friend, and that's about it for lists.
