GuideML - OL and LI Tags
Created | Updated Apr 20, 2012
The <ol> tag introduces an ordered list (effectively a numbered list), with each item in that list being denoted by <li> tags.
Syntax and Usage
These are HTML tags, so they can be upper or lower case, but we recommend lower case.
<ol>
<li>...list item 1...</li>
<li>...list item 2...</li>
...more list items...
</ol>
This will insert an ordered list - with numbering 1, 2, 3, etc - into the entry.
If you want to space out the items in the list, then start your ...list item... elements with <p> and end them with </p>, as in Example Two below.
Known Issues
