HMTL 5, CSS3 and JavaScript for Windows 8 – What is an Ordered List?

An ordered list starts with the <ol> tag. Each list item starts with the <li> tag. The list items are marked with numbers.

In the HTML 5 paradigm, only the following attributes are supported:

 

Attribute	Vale	Description
compact	compact	Not supported
reversed	reversed	Specifies that the list order should be descending (9,8,7...)
start	number	Specifies the start value of an ordered list
type	1 A a I i	Specifies the kind of marker to use in the list.

An example like this:
<ol>
  <li>Coffee</li>
  <li>Tea</li>
  <li>Milk</li>
</ol>
<ol start="50">
  <li>Coffee</li>
  <li>Tea</li>
  <li>Milk</li>
</ol>

Will produce the following:

1. Coffee
2. Tea
3. Milk

50. Coffee
51. Tea
52. Milk
