OL - Ordered List

The deprecated TYPE attribute of OL suggests the numbering style on visual browsers. The case-sensitive values are as follows:

• 1 (decimal numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ...)
• a (lowercase alphabetic: a, b, c, d, e, ...)
• A (uppercase alphabetic: A, B, C, D, E, ...)
• i (lowercase Roman numerals: i, ii, iii, iv, v, ...)
• I (uppercase Roman numerals: I, II, III, IV, V, ...)

The numbering style on an individual list item can be suggested using the TYPE attribute of LI. The list-style-type property of CSS provides greater flexibility in suggesting numbering styles.

The deprecated START attribute suggests the starting number for the list and defaults to 1. The value of START must be an integer, but the number may be presented in a different form (for example, as a Roman numeral). While this attribute is deprecated, there is currently no substitute for it in Cascading Style Sheets.

The deprecated COMPACT attribute suggests that visual browsers render the list compactly, perhaps with reduced spacing between items. This attribute is not well supported among browsers.
