What Are List Elements?

XHTML 1.0 offers 3 list elements:

• "ol" - Ordered List: A list of items with leading sequential numbers.
• "ul" - Unordered List: A list of items with leading bullets.
• "dl" - Definition List: A list of items with leading terms.

Here are some generic rules about list elements:

• List elements are block level elements.
• List elements can not have text contents.
• A list element must have at least one list item element.
• List item elements are flow type elements, which allows both block level and inline level elements as its sub-elements.
