Now according to this post: Start a list from a certain number this has been deprecated, but it has been bought back in HTML5.
I’m not using HTML5, I’m using the transitional XHTML doctype.
So I’m wondering what I can use?
If I just go ahead and use..
<ol start=5>
Will it still work? I know I can just test it, but also want to make sure that all browsers will still show it as I intend?
Edit: I need something that is 100% reliable, not a CSS solution that has limited support.
The XHTML transitional DTD allows
<ol>(ordered list) with astartattribute. Maybe you were using the wrong element? (<ul>instead of<ol>).If the browser follows the XHTML1.0 Transitional rules it should render the list correctly.
