Lists are a very useful tool when creating an eBay item description.

Lists can help keep related items grouped together in a logical order.

 One way to build a list of related items would be to use the <p> and <br> tags. (The <br> creates a single line break as opposed to the <p> tag which creates a double line break.) 

However, there is a better, cleaner and more attractive way to make lists. HTML provides a specific set of tags to use that will create a  bulleted list. The following make up the  List tag set:

 

<ul> </ul> (unordered list)
<ol> </ol> (ordered list)
<li>  (list item)

 

Let’s use them and see how the work! First, lets retype and group our payment terms in our our item description, making them into a simple list (fig: 31)
 


Fig. 31


Type the following tags into the test.html file (fig. 32)

1.Type a <ul> tag at the top of the list.

2.Type a <li> tag in front of each item in the list.

3.Type a </ul> tag at the bottom of the list.


Fig. 32


 
 
Save the Changes, then go to IE and refresh. You should see a bulleted list of your items similar to fig. 33!


TIP! Substitute <ol> and </ol> tags for the <ul> and </ul> tags for a different kind of list!
