5 HTML Import of Ordered List

Ordered list default to a number bullet. The type of bullet for an ordered list is controlled by the “type” attribute, where <ol type= character>

<ol type=1> numbers (e.g., 1. 2. 3. – 22. 23. 24. ) 

<ol type=a> lowercase letters (e.g., a. b. c. – x. y. z. ) 

<ol type=A> uppercase letters (e.g., A. B. C. – X. Y. Z. ) 

<ol type=i> lowercase Roman numerals (e.g., i. ii. iii. – xiii. xiv. xv. ) 

<ol type=I> uppercase Roman numerals (e.g., I. II. III. – XIII. XIV. XV. ) 

An ordered list will default to begin at the first “number” for the type of bullet. So a numbered list will start at 1. A letter list will start with the letter a or A. Roman numeral will start with i or I. The starting value can be changed by specifying a start= attribute. The start attribute is always a number, even if the resulting bullet is not literally a number. So if you want to start a lettered bullet list at the letter D, you would specify as:

<ol type=A start=4> uppercase letters starting at 4 (e.g., D. E. F) 

<ol type=i start=6> lowercase Roman numbers starting at 6 (e.g., vi. vii. viii. )
