Unordered Lists
An unordered list is a list of items. The list items are marked with bullets (typically small black circles).
An unordered list starts with the

tag. Each list item starts with the
• tag.
  
  
  
  • Coffee
  
  
  • Milk

  Inside a list item you can put paragraphs, line breaks, images, links, other lists, etc.
  Ordered Lists
  An ordered list is also a list of items. The list items are marked with numbers.
  An ordered list starts with the
  tag. Each list item starts with the
  1. tag.

     Definition Lists
     A definition list is not a list of items. This is a list of terms and explanation of the terms.
     A definition list starts with the

     tag. Each definition-list term starts with the

     tag. Each definition-list definition starts with the

     tag.
