Ordered Lists


Here is an example of an ordered list:

  1. Wake up
  2. Get dressed
  3. Eat breakfast
  4. Go to work
Each item in the list is numbered.

You can also nest ordered lists.

  1. Wake up
  2. Get dressed
  3. Eat breakfast
  4. Go to work
    1. Turn on computer
    2. Make coffee
    3. Check email
Ordered lists can be used to dynamically number items. Be careful with their use because users may confuse the numbers with numbered links in Lynx.

Generally, It is recommend that you DO NOT use ordered lists.

If you need to nest ordered lists, nesting unordered lists withen ordered lists may be a solution.

Notice in the HTML source (which you can view by pressing \) that the nested lists are indented. This is not necessary, but it makes the HTML source easier to read.
