To define a list in HTML5 we can use the HTML <li> tag. But there are two types of listing in HTML. One is an ordered list and another one is an unordered list. For ordered we can use HTML <ol> tag and for the unordered list, we will use the HTML <ul> tag.
Also, we can change the list type, for that, you can check the below articles.
Ordered list: It defines a list of items in which the order of item matters. An ordered list is also called a number list. The list items are enclosed within <ol> and </ol>tags. The ordering is given by numbering scheme, using Arabic numbers, letters or roman numerical.
Syntax:
<ol>
<li>List item 1</li>
<li>List item 2</li>
</ol>
Unordered list: It is used for items in which the ordering is not specific. An unordered list also called bulleted list. The list is defined using the <ul> and <ul/>tags. Each time in the list is defined using the <li> tag.
Syntax:
<ul>
<li>List item 1</li>
<li>List item 2</li>
</ul>
Example: The following code demonstrates both the ordered list and un-ordered list.
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html>
< html >
< body >
< h1 >GeeksforGeeks</ h1 >
< ol >
< li >Geeks</ li >

< li >Sudo</ li >
< li >Gfg</ li >
< li >Gate</ li >
< li >Placement</ li >
</ ul >
</ body >
</ html >
