<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Lists and Links</title> </head> <body> <ul> <a href="cakes.html"><li>Cakes</li></a> <a href="pies.html"><li>Pies</li></a> <a href="candy.html"><li>Candy</li></a> </ul> </body> </html>

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lists and Links</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <ul>
      <a href="cakes.html"><li>Cakes</li></a>
      <a href="pies.html"><li>Pies</li></a>
      <a href="candy.html"><li>Candy</li></a>

I believe the proper syntax is to have <a> tags inside the <li> tags like this.

<li><a href="cakes.html">Cakes</a></li>
