Assuming they are DTML documents (if not, substitute your fragment
object meta type) here is the DTML:

<dtml-in expr="docs.objectValues('DTML Document')">
    <div><h3><dtml-var name="title_or_id"></h3>
        <ul>
            <li><dtml-var name="sequence-item"></li>
        </ul>
    </div>
</dtml-in>
