The HTML document also supports some lists. There are two types of lists in HTML document that are; unordered list, and ordered list. Every list must be ended with an end tag, for unordered list, we use <UL> tag and the ending tag is </UL>, for ordered list, we use <OL> tag and the ending tag is </OL>.

A list can never be empty. The UL and OL contain list item elements. A list item element starts with a tag <L1> and the ending tag is </L1> but the ending tag is not necessary.

We can define an unordered list of elements as the lists that does not numbers or letters. A list <L1> element can have text, images, other lists, and paragraphs.

<OL>

<L1> ordered list items

</OL>
