We have 2 main kinds of lists: unordered lists (the ones you saw in the first example) and ordered lists

Unordered lists are created using the ul tag. Each item in the list is created with the li tag:

<ul>
  <li>First</li>
  <li>Second</li>
</ul>

Ordered lists are similar, just made with the ol tag:

<ol>
  <li>First</li>
  <li>Second</li>
</ol>

The difference between the two is that ordered lists have a number before each item.
