## Code

The basic HTML code to demonstrate the use of the `list` attribute is as follows:

<form action="/action_page.php" method="get">
  <label for="language">Choose your favourite programming language from the list:</label>
  <input list="languages" name="language" id="language">
  <datalist id="languages">
    <option value="C++">
    <option value="Python">
    <option value="Java">
    <option value="Angular">
    <option value="React">
  </datalist>
  <input type="submit">
</form>

In this example, we can see that we have made a form that has a data `list`. The user has to select from the multiple options that comprise the list.
