Text List

To create a bulleted list you need to add a <ul> and a </ul> tag at the beginning and the end of the list.

Numbered lists have <ol> tags instead of <ul> tags.

To separate single list items use <li> and </li> tags.

There are special settings that you can use to customize the lists on your page.

On the following two pages you can learn in detail about bulleted and numbered lists.
