HTML Ordered Lists


The HTML <ol> tag defines an ordered list. An
ordered list can be numerical or alphabetical.

Ordered HTML List
An ordered list starts with the <ol> tag. Each list item starts with the <li> tag.
The list items will be marked with numbers by default:

Example

<ol>
 
<li>Coffee</li>  <li>Tea</li>
 
<li>Milk</li>
</ol>

Control List Counting
By default, an ordered list will start counting from 1. If you want to start counting from a specified number, you can use the start attribute:

Example

<ol start="50">  <li>Coffee</li>  <li>Tea</li> 
<li>Milk</li></ol>

    <ol>     
<li>Black tea</li>      <li>Green tea</li>
    </ol>
