    Ordered Lists

    You can create an ordered list to display items in a specific order, such as a set of instructions or a table of contents. Below is an example of how to create an ordered list

    <html>
    <Head>
    <Title>Ordered List</Title>
    </Head>

    <Body>
    <OL> This is typed before the list.
    <LI> This is put in front of each item in the list.
    </OL> This will end the ordered list command.

    </body>
    </html>
