Lists have gained a new attribute which changes the appearance of the bullet for unordered lists, or the numbering for ordered lists, called TYPE. You can specify the type of numbering to use for order list by placing the TYPE attribute inside the Ordered LIST tag as follows:
<OL TYPE="A">
Unordered list bullets are selected the same way, only using words, or identifiers, which specify the bullet type. In addition, the TYPE may be specified for individual list items in the <LI> tag. These are the acceptable values for each list type.
| List Type | Circle | Disc | Square | A | a | I | i | 1 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| <UL> | YES | YES | YES | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO |
| <OL> | NO | NO | NO | YES | YES | YES | YES | YES |
| <LI> | YES | YES | YES | YES | YES | YES | YES | YES |
With ordered lists, you may also specify a value for the List Item which determines the starting number for all of the remaining items in the list, unless otherwise changed. This is useful for continuing numbering when a list is split up with some other structure, such as a paragraph. The syntax is:
<LI TYPE="i" VALUE="8">
This example looks like:
