HTML <li> tag
Definition and Usage
The <li> tag defines the start of a list item. The <li> tag is
used in both ordered (<ol>) and unordered lists (<ul>).
Differences Between HTML and XHTML
The "type" and "value" attributes of the li element were deprecated in HTML 4.01.
The "type" and "value" attributes of the li element are not supported in XHTML 1.0 Strict DTD.
