ul

'ul' stands for unordered list - similar to a bullet point list in word, by default dots, but you can make them squares, discs etc

ol

'ol' stands for ordered list, by default numbers, but you can change them to letters, roman numerals etc.

A ul(unordered list) will show the list with bullets but the ol(order list) will show the list with numbers.

Example

OL

  1. Coffee
  2. Tea
  3. Coca Cola

UL

  • Coffee
  • Tea
  • Coca Cola
