In the above code, the list starts at 1 because the TYPE and START attributes are missing. You can
customise the default numbering and beginning point for the ordered list.
By using the TYPE attribute, you can create:
Numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4. (If no value for type is specified, then this format will be displayed.)
Roman numerals (uppercase and lowercase): I, II, III, IV, i, ii, iii, iv
Letters of the alphabet (uppercase and lowercase): A, B, C, D, a, b, c, d
