Interpretation of ul, ol, and dl: - **ul** stands for "unordered list," which is used to create a list of items where the order does not matter. Items in a ul are marked with bullet points by default. - **ol** stands for "ordered list," which is used to create a list of items where the order is significant. Items in an ol are typically numbered or lettered sequentially. - **dl** stands for "description list," which is used to create a list of terms and their corresponding descriptions. It consists of pairs of dt (definition term) and dd (definition description) elements.

Text lists generally fall into three categories: bulleted lists, numbered lists, and definition lists.

1. Bulleted Lists (bulleted lists)

List items start with a bullet point and are used when there is no particular order between the items, hence they are also known as unordered lists (unordered lists).

They can be used for an organizational chart of a government or company, for a product list in a department store, or for categorization in academic subjects and other practical applications. The steps to create such a list are as follows:

(1) Input multiple paragraphs of unordered text.

(2) Select all the paragraphs.

(3) Press Ctrl+F3 to open the [Properties] panel and click the [Bulleted List] button.

This is a method of converting existing text into a list, chosen because of its unordered nature.

The standard HTML tag code for a bulleted list is as follows:

```html

Here is the value of the bulleted list item cnbruce1

Here is the value of the bulleted list item cnbruce1

.................................................cnbruce2

```

In the HTML tags for a bulleted list, `...` (the abbreviation for "unordered lists") indicates the start of a bulleted list, while `...` inside it represents specific list items. There are three types of bullet points in a bulleted list:

- Solid dot (black dot, type="disc", default bullet type)

- Hollow dot (period, type="circle")

- Square solid dot (square, type="square")

To choose a bullet style, click the [List Item] button in the [Properties] panel and select from the dialog box that appears.

2. Numbered Lists (numbered lists)

Numbered lists start with numbered items, and usually, each item has a clear order, so they are also called ordered lists (ordered lists).

They can be used in timetables, project progress charts, book outlines, and other practical applications. The steps to create such a list are as follows:

(1) Place the cursor in the document window.

(2) Open the [Properties] panel and click the [Numbered List] button.

(3) A numbered list will appear on the page, and you can input text content after the number.

(4) To display the next number, press the Enter key after the current list item.

(5) To exit the numbered list, press the Enter key twice.

The standard HTML tag code for a numbered list is as follows:

```html

Here is the first item of the numbered list cnbruce1

Here is the second item of the numbered list cnbruce2

...................................................cnbruce3

```

In the HTML tags for a numbered list, `...` (the abbreviation for "ordered lists") indicates the start of a numbered list, and the list items within it are similarly indicated by `...`.

The numbering styles for a numbered list are more diverse. Similarly, click the [List Item] button in the [Properties] panel and select from the dialog box that appears.

3. Definition Lists (defined lists)

Definition lists are a form of list that does not use bullets or numbers as list item prefixes. Their structure is: each list item is followed by an indented definition field (which can be empty). This is similar to how words are explained in a dictionary, so definition lists are also known as dictionary lists.

They can be used in website applications such as introducing friendly links, displaying search engine query results, or Chinese-English translations. The steps to create such a list are as follows:

(1) Open the [Insert] panel, select the [Text] category, and click the [Definition List] button [dl].

(2) In the [Design] view, input the first list item as the [Definition Term].
