Let us experiment with lists a bit here.

An unordered list shows items with a plain bullet before them:

<UL>
  <LI>Oleg
  <LI>Paula
  <LI>James
</UL>

We have some control over the exact appearance of the bullets:

<UL>
  <LI TYPE="circle">Oleg
  <LI TYPE="square">Paula
  <LI TYPE="disc">James
</UL>

We can arrange the same items in an ordered list:

We can also set the value of the first item in the list:

And we can change the numerical value of any subsequent list items:

<OL START="3">
  <LI>Oleg
  <LI VALUE="7">Paula
  <LI>James
</OL>

And we also have some control over the ordered list numbering system: we can use regular (Arabic) numberals as well as Roman ones (uppercase and lowercase) and Latin alphabetic characters (uppercase and lowercase).

<OL TYPE="A">
  <LI>Oleg
  <LI TYPE="a">Paula
  <LI TYPE="I">James
  <LI TYPE="i">Shauna
  <LI TYPE="1">Robert
</OL>

We can also arrange items in so-called definition lists, whose elements consist of two parts: words (terms) and their definitions:

<DL>
  <DT>Oleg
   <DD>A cool guy with an M.S. in Information Science
  <DT>Anna
   <DD>An equally cool girl with an M.S. in Economics
</DL>

We can also nest different types of lists:

<UL>
  <LI>Oleg
    <OL>
     <LI>Cool
     <LI>Smart
    </OL>
  <LI>Anna
    <OL>
     <LI>Sharp
     <LI>Pretty
    </OL>
  <LI>Paula
<UL>
