Unordered List or Bulleted List (ul)
Description List or Definition List (dl)

Note: We can create a list inside another list, which will be termed as nested List.

HTML Description List or Definition List

HTML Description list is also a list style which is supported by HTML and XHTML. It is also known as definition list where entries are listed like a dictionary or encyclopedia.

The definition list is very appropriate when you want to present glossary, list of terms or other name-value list.

The HTML definition list contains following three tags:

<dl> tag defines the start of the list.
<dt> tag defines a term.
<dd> tag defines the term definition (description).

<dl>
