HTML5 <ol> Tag

Example

3 different ordered lists:

<ol>
<li>Earth</li>
<li>tea</li>
</ol>

<ol start="50">
<li>Earth</li>
<li>tea</li>
</ol>

<ol reversed="reversed">
<li>Earth</li>
<li>tea</li>
</ol>

The <ol> tag defines the start of an ordered list.

Use together with the <li> tag to define list items.

The "start" attribute was deprecated in HTML 4.01, but IS supported in HTML5.

The "reversed" attribute is new in HTML5.

The "compact" and "type" attributes were deprecated in HTML 4.01, and are not supported in HTML5. Use CSS to style lists.
