  • Recommendation:
    Use lists to organize and present content in a structured manner. Choose between ordered and unordered lists based on the sequence or significance of items. Avoid using lists for layout purposes and prioritize semantic meaning.

  • Example:

    <ul>
      <li>Item 1</li>
      <li>Item 2</li>
      <li>Item 3</li>
    </ul>
    
    <ol>
      <li>First item</li>
      <li>Second item</li>
      <li>Third item</li>
    </ol>
  • Explanation:
    • Lists can be ordered (<ol>) or unordered (<ul>).
    • List items (<li>) define individual items within a list.
    • Ordered lists display items with sequential numbers or letters, while unordered lists display items with bullet points.
