Often times, in makes a cleaner layout on our web pages to use bullet points and numbered lists to display important content. To display test in a list, we use two different types of list tags <ol> ordered lists and <ul> unordered lists. Ordered lists are lists that use some sort of order to them such as numbers are roman numerals while unordered lists are bulleted points.

First, let's discuss Ordered Lists. Remember, ordered lists will be numbered and we will start with the <ol> tag:

This is the opening tag to tell the web browser the folowing content is to be contained in an ordered list. Now, we will need to add an <li> tag which stands for list item. After adding the list item tags and closing them our code will look like this. don't forget to close the tags.

The above code will display the following results:

1. first line in the list
2. second line in the list

The process is the same for the unordered list. The only difference is the opening and closing tag of the actual list. Don't forget to close your tags or the lists will not display correctly. 

The above code will display the following results:

• first line in the list
• second line in the list
