  HTML 4.01 Manual: Lists
Lists may also be nested and different list types may be used together, as in the following example, which is a definition list that contains an unordered list (the ingredients) and an ordered list (the procedure):
Ordered and unordered lists are rendered in an identical manner except that visual user agents number ordered list items.
In ordered lists, it is not possible to continue list numbering automatically from a previous list or to hide numbering of some list items.

 Lists
Lists are a great way to organize data on the page.
Ordered lists are the same as numbered lists, meaning that each data item is uniquely identified by a number.
Unordered lists are structured the same as ordered lists, however, they simply have a bullet at the beginning of each data item, not a unique identifier.

 A List Apart: Articles: CSS Swag: Multi-Column Lists
List item numbering and bulleting are actually two instances of content-generation, but they’re the only ones that are supported universally, probably because they date back to early HTML before CSS was born.
The way I look at it, wrapping a list into vertical columns is a matter of presentation, not content, and therefore ought to be controlled by the stylesheet in the interests of separating content from presentation.
When list items are absolutely positioned as in Method 5, the overall layout will remain unchanged, but the list item that wraps will be overlaid by the next item in the list which will claim its position without regard to preceding text, since absolute positioning takes each item out of the flow.

 Chapter 9 -- Displaying Text in Lists
Lists are both functional and easy to read; they can define sequential procedures, relative importance, available decision options, collections of related data, and data ordering.
List containers provide both a beginning and ending line break to isolate the list from the surrounding text; it's not necessary (except for effect) to precede or follow the list with the paragraph

tag.

Ordered lists pass on the capability to change the current TYPE of list items and also the VALUE they begin with-by using the VALUE tag, you can begin a list with a value other than one, or change the numbering within a list.

     Chapter 4: Lists
    The term "unordered list" may be a bit unfamiliar to you, but odds are you've heard of the "bullet list." That's exactly what an unordered list is -- a list of items, each one preceded by a "bullet" (a distinctive character; typically, a small fl circle).
    However, when an ordered list is displayed in a Web browser, it uses an automatically generated sequence of item markers.
    Ordered lists are as nestable as unordered lists, and you can nest unordered lists in ordered lists, as well as the other way around.

     Ordered pair - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    In mathematics, an ordered pair is a collection of two objects such that one can be distinguished as the first element and the other as the second element (the first and second elements are also known as left and right projections).
    An ordered pair with first element a and second element b is often written as (a, b).
    Hence the ordered pair enables the recursive definition of ordered [[n-tuple]]s (ordered lists of n terms).

    The ordered list is perfect for step-by-step instructions on how to complete a particular task, creating an outline, a top ten list, basketball league standings, or any kind of ranked list.
    Notice the list item code creates the numbers before each list item so when the document is viewed in a browser the numbers are inserted and appear automatically.

    Numbered lists illustrate that what should look like one list may, for the software, consist of multiple lists; unnumbered lists give a corresponding result, except that the problem of restarting with 1 is not applicable.
    A list of one or more lines starting with a colon creates a definition list without definition terms, and with the items as definition descriptions, hence indented.
    Using m:Template:multi-column numbered list (talk, backlinks, edit) the computation of the starting values can be automized, and only the first starting value and the number of items in each column except the last has to be specified.

    All three types of list are comprised of (at least two) different types of tags: A paired tag for the list itself, and an unpaired tag (or, in the case of definition lists, two types of unpaired tag) for the items in the list.
    The list tags are:
      for ordered lists,
        for unordered lists, and
        for definition lists.
    This, by the way, is a perfect example of a place where judicious indenting of the HTML source would make it easier to read (and if need be, change), but (because of the fact that this "extra" whitespace would be ignored) would not change the way the resulting document looks at all.

    You are familiar with the most common example of ordered lists, namely sorted lists, in which the elements are ordered according to their values.
    Elements are in normal chronological order called FIFO (First In First Out): the first element added is the first element in the queue the last element added is the last element in the queue.
