Options for Ordered Lists

Written by Eric Smith, Northstar Computer Systems LLC

Besides the default Arabic numerals normally used for ordered lists (created with the OL tag), you can create lists that use other number formats to list items. You use the TYPE parameter in the OL tag and use the following values:

(TYPE=A) - capital letters. e.g. A, B, C ...
(TYPE=a) - small letters. e.g. a, b, c ...
(TYPE=I) - large roman numerals. e.g. I, II, III ...
(TYPE=i) - small roman numerals. e.g. i, ii, iii ...
(TYPE=1) - or the default numbers. e.g. 1, 2, 3 ...

You can also specify the starting number using the START parameter. This parameter needs to be used with an Arabic number, as shown here:

<ol type=I start=5>

For this tag, the items will start with Roman numeral 5 (a V) and continue from there. This is helpful if you have multiple lists that aren't together or are on separate pages, but should be shown as part of the same "outline".
