Ordered lists are used when the items to be listed do need to be in a particular sequence. An example might be the steps need to assemble a bicycle.

The ordered list is the same as a numbered. Just as a numbered list in other programs, HTML provides several styles for numbering which may be used. The default numbering is 1, 2, 3, ...

To open an ordered list type <OL>. Each item in the list (list item), must be preceded with a <LI> tag. When you have finished the list, close the list with a </OL> closing tag.
Here is a simple bulleted list:
