HTML – Lists
There are three different types of HTML lists: ordered lists, unordered lists, and definition lists.
HTML – Datalist Tag
The <datalist> tag specifies a list of pre-defined options for an <input> tag. Users will see a drop-down list of options as they input data.
HTML – Definition Description Tag
The <dd> tag is the definition description of the related <dt> tag (definition term) within a <dl> tag (definition list).
HTML – Definition List Tag
Definition lists use the <dl> tag and the list items (definition terms) within use the <dt> tag. The <dd> tag is the definition description of the related term.
HTML – Definition Term Tag
The <dt> tag (definition term) lives with the <dl> tag (definition list) and uses the <dd> tag (definition description) to define the meaning of the listed term.
HTML – List Item Tag
The <li> tag defines a list item used inside ordered lists (<ol>) and unordered lists (<ul>).
HTML – Option Group Tag
The <optgroup> tag is used to group related options in a <select> element (drop-down list), which makes things easier to see for the user.

The <option> tag defines an option in a <select> element, <optgroup> element, or <datalist> element.
