Lists are very useful on the Web. This site uses many of them. Most of the time, an unordered list is all you need. The standard presentation of unordered lists in a Web browser shows each list item with a small bullet on the left side.
Groceries to buy:
It is possible to nest lists to create hierarchical unordered lists. Notice how the bullet symbols are rendered differently to make the hierachical nature of the list even more obvious.

<h1>Unordered Lists</h1>
<p>When you need to present a list of items and the order is not meaningful,
use
an unordered list like the one below.</p>
<p>Fruits I like:</p>
<ul>
<li>Apples</li>
<li>Bananas</li>
<li>Oranges</li>
<li>Tomatoes (yes tomatoes are fruits)</li>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
The <ul> </ul> tag pair creates the unordered list. The <li> </li> tag pair creates each list item.
