In HTML, lists are used to group related pieces of information together.

Lists are good from a structural point of view as they help create a well-structured, more accessible, easy-to-maintain document.

List are made up of a container element, and one or more list item elements.

There are three list container types in HTML:

Unordered list — used to group a set of related items, in no particular order.
Ordered list — used to group a set of related items, in a specific order.
Description list — used to display name/value pairs such as terms and their definitions, or times and events.

Here is an unordered list containing three list items:

<ul>
 <li>First item</li>
 <li>Second item</li>
 <li>Third item</li>
</ul>
