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>

Ordered HTML List - The Type Attribute


The type attribute of the <ol> tag, defines the type of the list item marker:

Type Description

type="1" The list items will be numbered with numbers (default)

type="A" The list items will be numbered with uppercase letters

type="a" The list items will be numbered with lowercase letters

type="I" The list items will be numbered with uppercase roman numbers
type="i" The list items will be numbered with lowercase roman numbers

Numbers:
<ol type="1">
<li>Coffee</li>
<li>Tea</li>
<li>Milk</li>
</ol>

Uppercase Letters:
<ol type="A">
<li>Coffee</li>
<li>Tea</li>
<li>Milk</li>
</ol>

Lowercase Letters:
<ol type="a">
<li>Coffee</li>
<li>Tea</li>
<li>Milk</li>
</ol>

Uppercase Roman Numbers:


<ol type="I">
<li>Coffee</li>
<li>Tea</li>
<li>Milk</li>
</ol>

Lowercase Roman Numbers:


<ol type="i">
<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>

Nested HTML Lists


Lists can be nested (list inside list):

Example
<ol>
<li>Coffee</li>
<li>Tea
<ol>
<li>Black tea</li>
<li>Green tea</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Milk</li>
</ol>

Note: A list item (<li>) can contain a new list, and other HTML elements, like images and links,
etc.
