The

tag in HTML stands for “ordered list”. It is used to create a list of items that should be displayed in a specific order. Unlike the
tag, which creates an unordered list, the
tag adds numbers or letters to each item in the list to indicate its order.

When using the

tag, each list item is placed within
1. tags. The list items are automatically numbered in sequential order starting from 1 unless specified otherwise. The numbering style can be customized using the type attribute in the
   tag.

   There are several different types of numbering styles that can be applied to an ordered list, including:

   1. Decimal (default): This is the default numbering style for ordered lists. Each item is numbered with Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3, etc.).

   2. Lowercase letters: This style uses lowercase letters (a, b, c, etc.) to number each item in the list.

   3. Uppercase letters: This style uses uppercase letters (A, B, C, etc.) to number each item in the list.

   4. Lowercase Roman numerals: This style uses lowercase Roman numerals (i, ii, iii, etc.) to number each item in the list.

   5. Uppercase Roman numerals: This style uses uppercase Roman numerals (I, II, III, etc.) to number each item in the list.

   The

   tag also allows for nested lists, where a sublist can be included within a list item of a higher-level list. This is done by placing another
   or
   tag within an
   • tag.

     Overall, the

     tag is a useful tool for creating organized, sequential lists on a webpage. By using the
     tag, web developers can easily create lists that are both visually appealing and easy to read. Whether you need to create a list of steps in a tutorial or a list of items in a recipe, the
     tag is a great way to keep your content in order.
