HTML Import of Ordered List Supports a Start Value

6 HTML Import of Ordered List Supports a Start Value

An ordered list defined to use numbers or letters will also support the start= attribute.

Example

<p><b>Fruits</b></p> 

<ol start= "4"> 

<li>Apple</li> 

<li>Banana</li> 

<li>Lemon</li> 

<li>Pear</li> 

<li>Strawberry</li> 

</ol>

Will result in this output:

Fruit

4. Apple
5. Banana
5. Citrus
6. Pear
7. Strawberry

Any legacy implementation ignored the start= attributes, but now recognized in this version.

Keep in mind that in HTML, the start= value is always a number. This applies even if your list type is specified to use letters or Roman numerals. Here is the same example, but with letter bullets.

<p><b>Fruits</b></p> 

<ol type="A" start= "4"> 

<li>Apple</li> 

<li>Banana</li> 

<li>Lemon</li> 

<li>Pear</li> 

<li>Strawberry</li> 

</ol>

Will result in this output:

Fruit

D. Apple
E. Banana
F. Citrus
G. Pear
H. Strawberry
