The <OL> Ordered List Tag

Use of the <OL> or unordered list tag within an HTML document allows the author to easily create a formatted numberical list, or ordered list of items. The <LI> or line item tag is used to delimit each numbered entry in the list. The <LI> tag cannot be contained outside of the beginning and closing ordered list tags. An ordered list can be contained within another ordered list if an author wishes to do so.
