## Description
<section id='description'>
HTML has another special element for creating <dfn>ordered lists</dfn>, or numbered lists.
Ordered lists start with an opening <code>&#60;ol&#62;</code> element, followed by any number of <code>&#60;li&#62;</code> elements. Finally, ordered lists are closed with the <code>&#60;/ol&#62;</code> tag.

For example:

```html
<ol>
  <li>Garfield</li>
  <li>Sylvester</li>
</ol>
```

would create a numbered list of "Garfield" and "Sylvester".

    testString: assert((/Top 3 things cats hate:/i).test($("ol").prev().text()));
  - text: You should have an unordered list for <code>Things cats love:</code>
    testString: assert((/Things cats love:/i).test($("ul").prev().text()));
  - text: You should have only one <code>ul</code> element.
    testString: assert.equal($("ul").length, 1);
  - text: You should have only one <code>ol</code> element.
    testString: assert.equal($("ol").length, 1);
  - text: You should have three <code>li</code> elements within your <code>ul</code> element.
    testString: assert.equal($("ul li").length, 3);
  - text: You should have three <code>li</code> elements within your <code>ol</code> element.
    testString: assert.equal($("ol li").length, 3);
  - text: Your <code>ul</code> element should have a closing tag.
    testString: assert(code.match(/<\/ul>/g) && code.match(/<\/ul>/g).length === code.match(/<ul>/g).length);
  - text: Your <code>ol</code> element should have a closing tag.
    testString: assert(code.match(/<\/ol>/g) && code.match(/<\/ol>/g).length === code.match(/<ol>/g).length);
  - text: Your <code>li</code> element should have a closing tag.
    testString: assert(code.match(/<\/li>/g) && code.match(/<li>/g) && code.match(/<\/li>/g).length === code.match(/<li>/g).length);
  - text: The <code>li</code> elements in your unordered list should not be empty.
    testString: $('ul li').each((i, val) => assert(__helpers.removeWhiteSpace(val.textContent)));
  - text: The <code>li</code> elements in your ordered list should not be empty.
    testString: $('ol li').each((i, val) => assert(!!__helpers.removeWhiteSpace(val.textContent)));
