Fresh out the oven, still warm. Top of the tray.
Summary
This article is the second installment in the "You don't know HTML" series, focusing on HTML lists. It goes beyond basic introductory content to explore deeper, more nuanced aspects of HTML list elements (ul, ol, dl) as defined in W3C specifications. The author assumes readers have real-world HTML experience and dives into advanced details about how collections of items are structured in HTML, covering topics typically discovered through deep study of the specs rather than beginner tutorials.
