HTML <li> Tag

Description

The <li> HTML tag, short for "list item," is used to define an item in a list. It is typically used within ordered lists <ol> or unordered lists <ul>. Each <li> element represents a single item within the list, and the content inside the <li> tags can include text, images, links, or other HTML elements. When rendered in a web browser, list items are typically displayed with a bullet point (for unordered lists) or a sequential number or letter (for ordered lists) to indicate their position within the list. The <li> tag is a fundamental element for structuring and presenting information in a list format on web pages.
