An unordered list is a way to present a group of related items where order doesn’t matter. Common uses include feature lists, short examples, or menu items.
Key points:
- Purpose: show items without implied sequence.
- Markers: typically bullets (•), discs, circles, or squares.
- HTML: use the
- element with each item inside an
- .
- Markdown: create with lines starting with -, , or + followed by a space
- Accessibility: use proper semantic markup (e.g.,
- /
- ) so screen readers announce it as a list.
- Nesting: you can place lists inside list items to create sublists.
- Styling: bullets and spacing can be changed with CSS or custom formatting.
- When to use: when the order of items is irrelevant; use numbered (ordered) lists when sequence matters.*
