Lists are great. They help you organize your data and
present it clearly.
In addition to the everyday ordered lists <ol> (gives a numbered
list) and unordered lists <ul> (gives a bulleted list), I really
like the definition lists.
The definition list tag is <dl>. It is looks like this (I also
changed the font size):
Affect
Verb. To have an influence on; bring about a change in. To touch or
move the emotions of. To attack or infect. Example: Smoking is known
to adversely affect your health.
Effect
Noun. Something brought about by a cause or an agent; result. The
way in which something acts upon or influences an object. The final or
comprehensive result; an outcome. Example: We hope that this new
educational program will have a positive effect on students.
This does double duty... It shows the definition tag and
gives me a
chance
to publicize one of my pet peeves! Definitions from The American
Heritage Dictionary. The source for this looks like:
<dl>
<dt> <font size=3> Affect
<dd>Verb. To have an influence on; bring about a change in. To
touch or move the emotions of. To attack or infect. Example: Smoking
is known to adversely affect your health.
<dt>Effect
<dd>Noun. Something brought about by a cause or an agent; result.
The way in which something acts upon or influences an object. The final
or comprehensive result; an outcome. Example: We hope that this new
educational program will have a positive effect on students. </font>
</dl>
It's not the greatest thing in the world, but it is simple
and makes a nice change from the ordered and unordered list everyone uses.
