HTML
Lists are defined by a list type and contain list items. The basic html list type
determines how the list items are rendered, i.e. with bullets, numbers
and/or indentation in a web page. Most browsers render html lists indented from the rest of
the body text, however it is best not to rely on this as a source of indentation.
For complex lists it is perfectly acceptable to nest lists, thus giving multi-level
bullet points or numbering. The following html list example shows how to create a simple bullet
point html list using the <UL> list type, which uses <LI></LI> as its
html list item element.

Here in HTML Tutorial an unordered html list provides each html list element with a bullet.
As further levels of list are included (this is called nesting html list items), the bullet may change (but not necessarily). An unordered list should be
enclosed in a pair of
<UL></UL> tags.
