HTML Tutorial: The <dir> Tag

The <dir> tag was used in older versions of HTML to define a directory list. However, it is now obsolete and no longer supported in HTML5. It is recommended to use CSS for styling instead.

Attributes of the <dir> Tag:

Attribute	Description
compact	Specifies whether the list should be compacted
type	Specifies the bullet style of the list items

Example:

<dir compact>
  <li>File 1.txt</li>
  <li>File 2.png</li>
  <li>File 3.jpg</li>
</dir>

In the example above, the <dir> tag is used to create a compact directory list with three file names. Each file name is wrapped in a <dir> tag to create list items within the directory.
