Ordered List
An ordered list is also called the numbered list. This type of list is used to display the items in a sequential
manner. For example, steps in an algorithm, etc. In HTML, the <OL> tag is used to create an ordered list.
The <LI> tag is used to define an item in the list. It is a container tag. The <OL> tag has two attributes
named START and TYPE. You can use the START and TYPE attributes in the following way:
<OL START="1"> - will start the list from 1 if the list-style-type property is set to decimal. By default,
HTML starts from 1 if the START attribute is not specified.
<OL START=”4” TYPE="a" > - will start the list from d if the list-style-type property is set to lower-alpha.
<OL START=”5” TYPE="A" > - will start the list from E if the list-style-type property is set to upper-
alpha.
<OL START="2" TYPE="i" > - will start the list from ii if the list-style-type property is set to lower-
roman.
<OL START="4" TYPE="I" > - will start the list from IV if the list-style-type property is set to upper-
roman.
The START attribute accepts only integer values.
Let us use the <OL> tag.
