Creating Lists

Lists are useful for categorizing or enumerating information on Web pages. You can use the following classes to create a list on a Web page.

os_directory_list - Creates an object that contains a list of items, each of which does not extend beyond one line of text and is typically a maximum of 20 characters in length.
os_glossary_list -Creates an object that contains a list of terms and definitions. This class is typically used with the class os_glossary_term to build glossaries.
os_menu_list -Creates an object that contains a list of objects, each of which does not extend beyond one line of text.
os_ordered_list -Creates an object that contains items that must be presented in a particular order. Items in an ordered list are preceded by a number.
os_unordered_list -Creates an object that contains items in no particular order. Items in an unordered list are preceded by a bullet. For example, this list is an unordered list.

Each of these lists can be nested. A nested list is a list embedded in another list. The nested list can be of the same or different type as the list in which is it is nested.
