How to semantically add heading to a list

Question

This has been bothering me for a while, and I\'m wondering if there\'s any consensus on how to do this properly. When I\'m using an HTML list, how do I semantically include

Answer 1

According to w3.org (note that this link is in the long-expired draft HTML 3.0 spec):

An unordered list typically is a bulleted list of items. HTML 3.0 gives you the ability to customise the bullets, to do without bullets and to wrap list items horizontally or vertically for multicolumn lists.

The opening list tag must be

. It is followed by an optional list header (caption) and then by the first list item (
• ). For example:

  
    Table Fruit
    
  apples
    
  oranges
    
  bananas
  
  

  which could be rendered as:

  Table Fruit

  • apples
  • oranges
  • bananas

  Note: Some legacy documents may include headers or plain text before the first LI element. Implementors of HTML 3.0 user agents are advised to cater for this possibility in order to handle badly formed legacy documents.
