PHPMailer won't send html message

I have problems with sending html based message with php mailer. Some answers here in stackoverflow says to include $mail->isHTML(true) which i do but no result.. here is the code

require '...';      
$mail = new PHPMailer;        
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->Host = '...';  
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = '...'; 
$mail->Password = '...';                              
$mail->setFrom("....");
$mail->addAddress("...");                 
$mail->Subject = "...";
$mail->Body    = "<li>abcd</li>";
$mail->isHTML(true); 
if(!$mail->send()) {
    echo 'Message could not be sent.';
    echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
    echo 'Message has been sent';
}

Does anyone know what's wrong?

Thanks!

<li>abcd</li> isn't enough and <ul></ul> tags should also be included. You need to use <!DOCTYPE html><head></head><body>...</body></html> as proper and full HTML markup and concatenating $mail->Body.

$mail->Body     = "<!DOCTYPE html>"; // the first one does not contain the dot
$mail->Body    .= "<head></head>";
$mail->Body    .= "<title></title>";
$mail->Body    .= "<body>";
$mail->Body    .= "<ul>";
$mail->Body    .= "<li>abcd</li>";
$mail->Body    .= "</ul>";
$mail->Body    .= "</body>";
$mail->Body    .= "</html>";

You can also substitute <ul></ul> for <ol></ol> depending on the type you want to use.
