Lists: HomeSite
1.2
Create an Unordered List
| An unordered list uses a symbol such as a bullet to indicate each list item. | ||
| The <UL> Tag | Create an unordered list by using the <UL></UL>
tags. Use the <LI> tag in front of each list item. The <LI> tag requires no closing tag. |
HINTS: UL= Unordered List LI=List Item |
| Example | I enjoy reading many different kinds of books:
The code for the above list is: I enjoy reading many different kinds of books: <UL> |
|
| The easiest way to make a list with HomeSite is to select the Lists tab. | ||
![]() |
||
| Choose the Quick List button. The List dialog box will appear. |
|
|
![]() |
||
|
||
| By default the type of bullet in an unordered list is a dark
circle. Use the TYPE=[shape] attribute with the opening <UL> tag to specify another bulleting style for the entire list. Use the TYPE=[shape] attribute with the <LI> tag to specify another type of bullet for a particular list item |
||
| To change the default shape of a bullet or the default type of numeric symbol in a list, you will have to insert your cursor in the proper tag and type in the desired attribute and value. | Note: See Start: Tour HomeSite 1.2 for a review of the ways to insert tags and attributes into your document. | |
| Replace [shape] with a value as indicated in the examples below. | ||
| Types of Bullets |
|
|
| The HTML code for the above sequence is: <UL> <LI TYPE=DISC>Here is a solid round bullet; in HTML the value is <B>disc</B>.
</UL> |
||
| Nested Unordered Lists | A nested list is a list within a list. To create a nested unordered list, add another <UL></UL> tag pair within your original list. By default the first level of a nested unordered list will use solid bullets, the second level will use hollow bullets, and the third level will use solid squares. |
