Where in the archives will I find information on setting up and styling a UL

Back a while ago for me in the tracks I remember there being specific explenations on list items and setting up styles to an un/ordered list.

Im making a nav bar and would like to know where I can find all the great information on UL styles, how to set them up, etc.

Thanks

Hi Richard,

The below part of CSS foundations may be able to help out!

https://teamtreehouse.com/library/css-foundations/text-fonts-and-lists/list-styles-2

Failing that here are some simple styles for an UL

HTML: 

<ul>
  <li><a href="#home">Home</a></li>
  <li><a href="#news">News</a></li>
  <li><a href="#contact">Contact</a></li>
  <li><a href="#about">About</a></li>
</ul>

CSS:

ul {
    list-style-type: none;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
}

li {
    float: left;
}

li a {
    display: block;
    padding: 8px;
}

You can then build on this with more styling by adding things like adding background colors, margin to seperate the different links and much more!

Happy coding.
