  3. How.com.vn English: Step 3 Create the first...
    Create the first part of the list up to the point where you'd like the indentation nested list to be placed/begin and press Enter. Don't clear the initial list with a </ol> or </ul> tag yet.
    • Also, don't denote a separate list item, if it has no label to go along with it.
    • Sometimes, looking at the code, you can see that this new list is a nested list.
  4. How.com.vn English: Step 4 Create the new indented sub-list using the format for the type of list you'd like.
    Denote the list using either the <ul> or <ol> tag and enter your list items.
  5. How.com.vn English: Step 5 End this inner/indented list type.
  6. How.com.vn English: Step 6 End the full outer list or, if you have further indentations, type these lists too (while not ending the previous lists).
    • If you need to bring more bullet points outwards a level after you are finished, end the list and type another list item without typing a brand new ordered list or unordered list-tag.
  7. How.com.vn English: Step 7 Bring the document to a close.
    Type the ending tag for the ordered tag or unordered tag (in a reverse fashion, from inner-most to outer-most fashion).

    Rather than opening with the simple Unordered List tag, type replacing 'square' with the type of bullet you want.
