3. Description List – Term aur definition ke pair ke form mein

Chaliye in sabhi types ko one by one samjhte hain.

HTML Lists - Overview

List ek aisa element hai jisme aap multiple items ko line by line present kar sakte ho. Ye content ko:

• Easily readable banati hai.
• Visually clean aur structured banati hai.
• SEO aur UX dono ke liye useful hota hai.

Aap list ke andar chahe text likho, images, ya links – sab possible hai.

1. HTML Ordered List (<ol>)

Ordered list ka use items ko ek sequential order mein arrange karne ke liye karte hai. Ordered list mein items numbered hote hain – jaise 1, 2, 3 ya A, B, C. Ordered list ka har item <li></li> se defined hota hai. Ye list sequence ya step-by-step instructions ke liye use hota hai.

Syntax:

<ol>
  <li>Wake up</li>
  <li>Brush your teeth</li>
  <li>Have breakfast</li>
</ol>

<ol type="A">
  <li>Apple</li>
  <li>Banana</li>
</ol>

2. HTML Unordered List (<ul>)

Unordered list mein items ke aage bullets (●) hote hain. Ye list un cases ke liye use hoti hai jahan item ka order matter nahi karta, jaise:

• Hobbies

  <li>Notebook</li>
</ul>

HTML Description List (<dl>)

Description list ek term aur uski definition ya explanation ko dikhata hai. Ye FAQs, glossaries, aur definition-based content ke liye perfect hota hai.

Tags Used:

• <dl> → Description List container
• <dt> → Description Term
• <dd> → Description Detail

Example:

<dl>
  <dt>HTML</dt>
  <dd>HyperText Markup Language - used for structuring web content.</dd>
  <dt>CSS</dt>
  <dd>Cascading Style Sheets - used for styling HTML elements.</dd>
</dl>

Output:

HTML

HyperText Markup Language - used for structuring web content.

CSS

Bonus: Nested Lists

Aap ek list ke andar dusri list bhi daal sakte ho.

Example:

<ul>
  <li>Fruits
    <ul>
      <li>Apple</li>
      <li>Mango</li>
    </ul>
  </li>
  <li>Vegetables</li>
</ul>

Ise aap hierarchical ya categorized information dikhane ke liye use kar sakte ho.

Conclusion

HTML Lists aapke content ko structured, easy-to-read, aur professional banate hain. Ye sirf design ke liye nahi, balki user experience aur SEO ke liye bhi helpful hote hain.
