Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal - I think I got the quote right, but...
Now I am going to use the BLOCKQUOTE to indent this quote:
Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Look at the difference in the way these look!
Now how about a quote within a quote type setup.
Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Note that the BLOCKQUOTE not only indents it also spaces around the quote.

Now lets look at an ordered list

  1. This is the first thing.
  2. This is the second thing.
  3. This is the third thing.

Here is another, but this time instead of numbering 1, 2, 3 I am going A, B, C

  1. This is the first thing.
  2. This is the second thing.
  3. This is the third thing.

Now let's look at an outline type setup - I have options of A, a, I, i, 1:

  1. First
  2. Second
    1. First under Second
    2. Second under Second
    3. Third under Second
      1. First under Third under Second
      2. Second under Third under Second
    4. Forth under Second
    5. Fifth under Second
  3. Third

Here is another version of the unordered list

Here is an unordered list but using a square for a bullet - the options are DISC, CIRCLE, SQUARE

I can also do a list without the LI, but then I will not have bullets.

Notice that both the unordered list and the ordered list, indent things and also space before and after.
Now lets try this - I am simply surrounding a sentence with UL and close UL:
