Familiarity with Lists in CSS

When you want to display information on websites in a structured and organized way, lists are one of the best tools. These days, almost no site can be found that does not use lists. Lists in HTML and CSS are beautifully flexible and can be easily customized to change the shape and format to your liking. In HTML, we have two main types of lists: ordered lists and unordered lists. CSS gives us the ability to style each of these lists in various ways to match our design.

Ordered lists are created with the tag

and unordered lists are created with the tag
in HTML. The items in these lists are displayed using the tag
• . With CSS, you can change the style and appearance of these lists to your liking; such as changing color, size, type of list markers, etc. You can even replace text markers with custom images easily.

  One of the most popular cases for using CSS in list design is changing the type of list marker. You can use properties like list-style-type to change the marker type to square, circle, or even none. For this task, simply use the list-style-type property and select your desired marker type.

  Understanding lists is very important, as many elements serve as a standard tool in websites and applications. These tools are not only used for displaying information sequentially but can also be applied in various web contexts.

    <li>Item One</li>

    list-style-type: square;
