In the HTML code, add either an <ol> (ordered list) or <ul> (unordered list) tag to begin a list.

Write the first item in your list between <li></li> tags, and repeat the process until the list is complete.

Once the list is complete, end the list using either </ol> or </ul>, depending on the type of list you created.
