Lists are great because they allow the ready to quickly scan the page to get the facts. There are two types of lists:
- Ordered lists and
- Unordered lists.
Here is how the code or an Ordered list looks like:
<ol>
<li>Text goes right here</li>
<li>Text goes right here</li>
</ol>
The <ol> is the opening HTML tag for an Ordered list. </ol> is the closing tag for the Ordered list. <li> is the opening tag for a List Item. </li> is the closing tag for a List Item. Text goes in between the List Item tags. The bullets will appear numbered in a Facebook environment.
To do an Unordered list, just substitute the
- tag for an
- tag; and the
tag for an closing tag. It is that simple. In Facebook, you will have to create your own bullets for an Unordered List. On a regular web page, the
- tag in an Unordered list makes a black round bullet. In Facebook, you have to make your own bullet. May I suggest an asterisk “*” or an equal sign with an arrow “=>”.
So that’s how you make an Ordered List and an Unordered List on Facebook. Have fun 🙂 Please let me know if you have any questions.
