Any web designer who has spent a long time building web sites knows that HTML lists play a role in displaying groups of bulleted items. Whether used in an ordered or unordered fashion, HTML lists are useful elements required for building most professional web page layouts.
In addition, in the last few years HTML lists have gained even more popularity. They're utilized for wrapping links in navigation bars, an approach that makes web sites much more accessible, particularly when viewed in a "naked version," that is, stripped of their CSS style sheets.
The functionality offered by HTML lists doesn't stop with building bulleted items or linear navigational user interfaces. It's also possible to nest their items, and display, for instance, information in a hierarchical fashion, or even create structured link bars that contain subsections.
Nested HTML lists are a logical extension of regular lists, and when used in a clever way, are one of the best approaches to take when it comes to displaying hierarchical data on web sites.
