Ordered Lists

An ordered list is used to present items that should be sequentially ordered. In an ordered list, the list is encapsulated in <ol> tags. Each item in the list is contained in a <li> tag. The letters "ol" stand for ordered list, while the letters "li" stand for list item. We can put a title for the list directly inside the <ol> tag, but before any <li> tag to act as a heading. Here, we have The Ten Commandments as our heading for the list. We used bold to make heading appear more significant.
