Use the <LI> tag in front of each list item.  The <LI> tag requires no closing tag.

LI=List Item

1. Science Fiction
2. Mysteries
3. Thrillers
4. Serious Literature
5. General Nonfiction

I enjoy reading many different kinds of books:

<OL>
<LI>Science Fiction
<LI>Mysteries
<LI>Thrillers
<LI>Serious Literature
<LI>General Nonfiction
</OL>

Use the TYPE=[X] attribute with the opening <OL> tag to specify another numbering style for the entire list.

Use the TYPE=[X] attribute with the <LI> tag to specify another type of bullet for a particular list item.

Replace the [X] attribute with a value as indicated in the examples below.

1. The default is Arabic numbers.

1. You can use capital letters.

1. You can use lower case letters.

1. You can use large Roman numerals.

1. You can use small Roman numerals.

3. You can even start in the middle of a sequence.

<OL>

<LI>The default is Arabic numbers.

<LI TYPE=A>You can use capital letters.

<LI TYPE=a>You can use lower case letters.

<LI TYPE=I >You can use large Roman numerals.

<LI TYPE=i>You can use small Roman numerals.

<LI TYPE=1 VALUE=3>You can even start in the middle of a sequence.

</OL>

To create a nested unordered list, add another <OL></OL> tag pair within your original list.

By default all levels of a nested ordered list will use Arabic numbers.

Add the TYPE attribute and the desired value to your nested list to change the type of list item marker used on the second and subsequent list levels.
