TYPE Attribute
We can change the default item marking of an ordered list to letters and Roman numerals by
using the TYPE attribute. Syntax: <OL TYPE = "Value">
The different values of the TYPE attribute are:
1: The items on the list will be marked in numbers.
A: The items on the list will be marked in uppercase letters.
a: The items on the list will be marked in lowercase letters.
i: The items on the list will be marked in lowercase Roman numerals.
l: The items on the list will be marked in uppercase Roman numerals.
To create an ordered list starting at a specific number with a custom style, use <ol type="A"
start="3">, which will begin the list with C and continue with uppercase letters.
Use of TYPE attribute with <OL> tag in HTML.

<TITLE> Ordered List </TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY>
<H2> List of Fruits that Grow on Trees:</H2>
<OL Type="a">
<LI>Almonds</LI>
<LI>Apples</LI>
<LI>Cherries</LI>
<LI>Coconuts</LI>
<LI>Lychee</LI>
<LI>Oranges</LI>
<LI>Olive</LI>
<LI>Persimmons</LI>
</OL>
</BODY>
</HTML>
REVERSED Attribute
By default, HTML arranges items in ascending order. We can change the order of the list in
descending order by using the Reversed attribute. Syntax: <OL REVERSED>
To use reversed numbering in an ordered list, the <OL REVERSED> tag will automatically display
the list in descending order. If you wish to change the numbering style while keeping it reversed,
you can specify the type by using <OL TYPE="" REVERSED>.
