HTML Resources > 6. Compound Tags

Some tags only work in conjunction with one another (which this guide refers to as “compound tags”). For instance, to make a list, you need a tag to indicate where the list starts and ends (either <ol></ol> or <ul></ul>) and a tag for each list item (<li></li>). Similarly, for a table, you need a way to indicate where the table starts and ends, where the row starts and ends, and how many cells exist in each row. Please see the code samples below:
