# Lists

## Introduction

Ordered and unordered lists are heavily used in most websites. It's not just for bullet-points and numbers... they are also used in creating horizontal navbars and long collections of objects (like a list of pictures of items for sale). They often take the place of tables as the method of choice for displaying structured content.

## Learning outcomes

* What is the basic list syntax?
