Head First HTML with CSS

constructing a list
Constructing HTML lists in two easy steps
Creating an HTML list requires two elements that, when used together,
form the list. The first element is used to mark up each list item. The
second determines what kind of list you’re creating: ordered or unordered.
Let’s step through creating Tony’s list of cities in HTML.
Step One:
Put each list item in an element.
To create a list, you put each list item in its own element,
which means enclosing the content in an opening tag and
a closing tag. As with any other HTML element, the
content between the tags can be as short or as long as you like
and broken over multiple lines.
We’re just showing a fragment of the HTML
from Tony’s journal here.

Locate this HTML in your “journal.html” file and keep
up with the changes as we make them.
First move the list items outside of the paragraph. The list
is going to stand on its own.
I saw some Burma Shave style signs on the side of
the road today:
...and then enclose each list item
with an , set of tags.
Each of these
elements will become an
item in the list.
