HTML Lists Explained for Absolute Beginners

See when to use ordered lists, unordered lists, and simple content grouping on a web page.

Lists reduce clutter

Lists help repeated items feel organized instead of scattered across the page.

Grouping supports better markup

When related pieces stay together in the HTML, the file becomes easier to understand and update.
