So long as you wrap your elements within <nav> you can use either and even other elements. In fact, the most recent version of HTML uses <p>s within <nav> and not <ul> anymore. cf. https://www.w3.org/TR/html/#rel-up I didn’t find any documentation in W3C space for that choice (it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist, just that I didn’t find it) but I found that exact question asked in Stack Overflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1775200/why-we-always-use-ul-to-make-navigation-why-not-ol Coralie > > Thank you, > > Jean-Bernard -- Coralie Mercier - W3C Marketing & Communications - https://www.w3.org mailto:coralie@w3.org +337 810 795 22 https://www.w3.org/People/Coralie/
