You can also create Ordered or Unordered lists in a more step by step fashion by using these buttons on the lower tool bar. You can use the <LI> tag by itself to create a bullet before a line(s) of text. However, without a <OL> or <UL> set of tags before and after it, the line(s) of text will not be indented. Conversely, you can use the <OL> and <UL> tags before and after a line to indent the line without any bullets or numbering.
