<ol> and </ol>

PURPOSE: To make a ordered list. The list can have upper and lower case letters, numbers, and upper and lower case roman numerals.

Below is a basic html document. The referenced html tag is in RED. All tags must have a start and a end tag. Most end tags have a / before the tags name, however there are a few that are done differently. The tags that end differently will be noted and highlighted. The order of the start and end tags is also very important to proper display of your page in a web browser.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title> The Page Title Goes Here </title>
</head>
<body>
<ol>
<li>Item number one</li>
<li>Item number two</li>
<li>Item number three</li>
</ol>
</body>
</html>

Here is a example of the numbered ordered list above:

  1. Item number one
  2. Item number two
  3. Item number three

You can also start off the list with any number you want. This list starts with 10, like so:

<ol start="10">
<li>Item number one</li>
<li>Item number two</li>
li>Item number three</li>
</ol>

Here is how it looks:

  1. Item number one
  2. Item number two
  3. Item number three

For capital letters use this:
<ol type="A">

For lower case letters:
<ol type="a">

For capital roman numbers:
<ol type="I">

For lower case roman numbers:
<ol type="i">
