You've had some good suggestions already. Here's another I have used. Only works if your numbers are single digits (1 -9) though: HTML <ol> <li>1 some text here</li> <li>2 some more text that can span longer than one line</li> </ol> CSS ol { list-style: none; padding-left: 2em; text-indent: -1em;} li:first-letter { float: left; font-size: ??; color: white; background: orange; line-height: 1.0; ...} Problem: Does not degrade well with CSS off. The sequence number appears twice. You could use UL for better degradation, perhaps? Works in IE 5.5+ and other browsers I have tried. (Not IE 5.01 Win though).
