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 attribute 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"> - will start the list from d if the list-style-type property is set to lower-alpha.
• <OL Start="5"> - will start the list from E if the list-style-type property is set to upper-alpha.
• <OL Start="2"> - will start the list from ii if the list-style-type property is set to lower-
roman.
• <OL Start="4"> - 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.
<HTML>
<HEAD> <TITLE> Ordered List or Numbered List </TITLE> </HEAD>
<BODY>
<B> Cup of Tea </B>
<HR>
Steps to make a cup of Tea.
<OL STYLE="list-style-type:decimal;">
<LI> Take 3/4 cup of water and boil it in kettle. </LI>
<LI> Add a table spoon sugar. </LI>
<LI> Add 1/4 cup of milk. </LI>
<LI> Pour the tea into a
cup. </LI>
<LI> Add a tea bag. </LI>
</OL>
</BODY>
</HTML>
However, the list style can be specified by the TYPE attribute, like 1, a, A, i, or I.
