Hi, Andrea, hope you are fine. I am attending the webinar HTML for translators where you explain two types of lists, OL and UL, but there is no explanation about OL. This is very clear for me what is an UL, but not an OL. I would appreciate you tell me about it.
Thanks in advance,
Araceli Martinez

OL & UL
Aug 17, 2012
Hi Araceli OL stands for Ordered List so it can be a numbered list such as this:
First item
Second item
Third item
Instead of the standard numbers (1, 2, 3) you can set other types of ordered symbols, such as letters (a, b, c or i, ii, iii).
If you substitute OL with UL you get an Unordered List:
"The course was very interesting indeed because it showed the basic concepts and practical tips behin..." Read mored html sites. I can now understand better what is there in the "backstage" of a webpage and avoid mistakes in translating them."
"I had little to zero understanding of HTML before watching this video. I now feel very well informed..." Read more, at leased well introduced to HTML and ready to start translating Web pages."
