Ordered List: Display letters instead of numbers

Asked Nov 14, 2006, 07:27 AM — 3 Answers
How can I use lower case letters, instead of numbers, in an ordered list?

When I use this code for my ordered list it displays numbers:

Code:
       <ol>
         <li>first thing on the list</li>
         <li>second thing on the list  </li>
       </ol>
Thanks!

You use the Type attribute Setting a Type of "a".

Hmm. Looks like I have to use style sheets to do what I want. I don't know a style sheet from a bed sheet

Can't I just insert a tag or two into the code to tell it to use abc instead of 123?
