How to create hierarchy by using HTML

Question

Hello,

I want to know is this possible to create hierarchy in web pages by using HTML tags? IF yes, then which HTML tag should I use?

Answer 1

It depends on context, but lists usually suffice.

Listamatic has a two level example, but you can go as deep as you like.

Answer 2

Without more info of exactly what you are trying to represent it is hard to answer, but I will take a stab at it and suggest you use the heading tags <h1> through <h6>.

Answer 3

You can use unordered lists to create a hierarchy (the <ul> and <li> tags). This can give you a tree structure which is semantically valid, and on top of that you can do whatever you like to express it in interesting ways, either through CSS or Javascript.
