      HTML Lists & Table Creation

      Ordered list

        creates numbered lists;
          creates bulleted lists;
        • represents list items. In tables: defines the table, creates a table row,
          defines bold centered header cell, defines standard data cell. Cellpadding is space between cell border and content; cellspacing is space between adjacent cells.
