On ocassion, you will be called upon to include an outline for a web page. An outline will consist of a series of ordered lists.
To review ordered lists:
Ordered Lists
Ordered lists (sometimes called numbered lists) work the same as unordered lists with two exceptions. Instead of a UL tag use an OL tag. And LI tags produce numbers instead of bullets. The tags used are:
- start the ordered list
- indicate a new list item, produces a bullet
- ends the ordered list Syntax:
The attributes that can be applied to either the OL tag or the LI tags are:
TYPE Defines the type of number style to be used. Values:
- A - Defines the numbering characters as capital letters.
- a - Defines the numbering characters as lowercase letters.
- I - Defines the numbering characters as capital Roman numerals.
- i - Defines the numbering characters as lowercase Roman numerals.
- 1 - Defines the numbering characters as numbers (default).
OR
Nested Lists
Converting an outline into a nested list requires using the appropriate tags with the correct type attribute. It is best done just like peeling an onion, i.e. one layer at a time.
Use the outer layer first, replacing each Roman number with an the first tag.
- First do the roman Numerals
- then the capital letters
- then the numbers
- ...
