The <li> HTML element is used to define an item in an ordered or unordered list. It represents a single item within a list and is typically used in conjunction with the <ul> (unordered list) or <ol> (ordered list) elements.
Here’s an example of how to use the <li> element in an unordered list:
<ul>
<li>Item 1</li>
<li>Item 2</li>
<li>Item 3</li>
</ul>
In this example, the <li> element is used to define each item in the unordered list. The content inside each <li> element represents the text or content of the list item. The list items will be rendered with bullet points by default due to the <ul> element.
Here’s an example of how to use the <li> element in an ordered list:
<ol>
<li>First item</li>
<li>Second item</li>
<li>Third item</li>
</ol>
In this example, the <li> element is used to define each item in the ordered list. The list items will be rendered with numbers or letters by default due to the <ol> element.
The <li> element can also be nested to create nested lists. For example:
<ul>
<li>Item 1</li>
<li>
Item 2
<ul>
<li>Nested Item 1</li>
<li>Nested Item 2</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Item 3</li>
</ul>
In this example, a nested unordered list is created within the second list item.
