If you've ever wanted to
write out a list of "bullets" in number form, this
video web
design training
lesson shows you how to create a list of numbered
items.
If you want to create "order"
on your web page with numbered lists, then creating
an HTML numbered list within your page's code is
the best way to go.

Creating a numbered or
ordered list serves two purposes. One, you won't
have to worry about the list items appearing uneven
on the page. Some WYSIWYG design programs don't
always format the way you want when you just type
in the items with numbers in front of them. But
when adding HTML code specifically for a list, you
can control how the page looks from the back end.
Using an HTML numbered list makes it easy to add
more items to the list from your page's code later
on without interferring with the look and feel of
other content on your page.
Here's an example of what a
numbered list will look like:
Chocolates
Chocolate-covered
cherries
Chocolate
truffles
Chocolate
mints
Chocolate candy
bars
Chocolate
candies
*Note: The list may also be
indented or in bold text to set it apart from the
remaining content on the web page.
Codes for HTML Numbered
Lists
The tags that are to be used
for this feature include opening and closing
container tags, which are <ol> and
</ol>. These tell the browser that the list
is starting and ending. You'll need an opening and
closing list item tag as well, which are <li>
and </li>. Between these two, you'll type the
item name for that particular number. So you'll use
the list tags numerous times, each containing the
word or phrase that's next on your list.
This video gives visual
examples of how to create an HTML numbered list
easily using a simple web text editor. You can
learn more about this HTML function and many others
by taking
