Description

In an orderedlist, each member of the list is marked with a numeral, letter, or other sequential symbol (such as Roman numerals).

Processing expectations

Formatted as a displayed block.

The numeration attribute indicates the desired numeration. If it is not specified, Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3, …) are to be used.

Note

The actual characters used in alphabetic numeration may be locale sensitive. Where the sequence “a”, “b”, “c” might be selected in an English locale, “ア”, “イ”, “ウ” might be selected if Katakana was implied by the current locale.

The continuation attribute indicates how numbering should begin relative to the immediately preceding list. ...
