html – Is it possible to specify a starting number for an ordered list? – Stack Overflow

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/11/03

Since I keep forgetting this has been possible since the introduction of html 5: [WayBack] html – Is it possible to specify a starting number for an ordered list? – Stack Overflow:

If you need the functionality to start an ordered list (OL) at a specific point, you’ll have to specify your doctype as HTML 5; which is:

<!doctype html>

With that doctype, it is valid to set a start attribute on an ordered list. Such as:

<ol start="6">
  <li>Lorem</li>
  <li>Ipsum</li>
  <li>Dolor</li>
</ol>
