Synopsis

                        <dir>...</dir>
                     

Creates a directory list consisting of list items <li>. Directory lists were originally designed to display lists of files with short names, but they have been deprecated with the recommendation that unordered lists (<ul>) be used instead. Most browsers render directory lists the same as unordered lists (with bullets), although some will use a multicolumn format.
