RE: [WSG] Ordered List numbering format
Well that's the way that Word documents are structured by default and since most of the docs im converting are Word I'd like to be able to do it that way. AFAIK its not possible. By default, an ordered list is: 1. 1. 1. 2. 3. Elephant 2. 1. 2. 3. 2. etc. Which kind of matches 1, 1.1, 1.1.1, but it would be nice to not have to search back up the list to see that 'Elephant' is 1.1.3 Mt. > -Original Message- > From: Rick Faaberg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, June 10, 2004 3:05 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [WSG] Ordered List numbering format > > > On 6/9/04 10:27 PM "Neerav" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> sent this out: > > > Looks like a neat solution to me > > > > -- > > Neerav Bhatt > > http://www.bhatt.id.au > > Web Development & IT consultancy > > Mobile: +61 403 8000 27 > > > > Miles Tillinger wrote: > >> Is there an accepted number format for ordered lists? > When using ordered > >> lists in a structured document, e.g. a Policy or Standards > document, I'm > >> using the following numbering format: > > Most of the heading work I've done (in print anyway) required > headings like: > > 1 > 1.1 > 1.1.1 > 1.1.2 > 1.2 > 1.3 > 1.3.1 > 2 > > etc > > Is that doable? > > Rick Faaberg > > * > The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ > See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm > for some hints on posting to the list & getting help > * > > * The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help *

[WSG] Ordered List numbering format
Is there an accepted number format for ordered lists? When using ordered lists in a structured document, e.g. a Policy or Standards document, I'm using the following numbering format: ol li { list-style-type: decimal; } ol li li { list-style-type: lower-alpha; } ol li li li { list-style-type: lower-roman; } which gives the output: 1. HEADING 1. Level One a) Level Two b) Level Two i) Level Three ii) Level Three c) Level Two 2. Level One 2. HEADING 1.
