How to define a list item in HTML5?

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.
