In a list, it is also possible to use intermediate heading using <LH> (listed heading) tag instead of using
the <LI> tag for the listed item. The TYPE and START attributes are used with the <OL> tag. Let us learn
about them in detail.
TYPE Attribute
The TYPE attribute defines the type of serial or sequence number to be displayed in an ordered list. For
example 1,2,3,... A, B, C,... I, II, III, .... etc.
Some ‘Value’ which are used with TYPE attribute, in <OL> tag are:
Type Value Style Series of Sequence
A Capital Alphabet A, B, C, D, ...
a Lowercase Alphabet a, b, c, d, ......
I Capital Roman Nos. I, II, III, IV, .....
i Lowercase Roman Nos. i, ii, iii, iv, ......
1 Arabic Numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, ......
Notes
The default value of Type starts with 1 in ordered list.
The default value of Type is disc in unordered list.
Syntax to use the <OL> tag is as follows:
<OL TYPE = “Value” START = “Value”>
<LI> List 1
<LI> List 2
...............
</OL>
START Attribute
This attribute of <OL> tag is used to specify the beginning of value of a series of items from a particular
position. The value of START attribute must be given in Arabic Numbers only.
