HTML5: ol – ordered list

ol – ordered list # T

The ol element represents a list (or sequence) of items; that is, a list in which the items are intentionally ordered, such that changing the order would change the meaning of the list.

Content model #

ol = li * & ol.attrs

Attribute model #

ol.attrs = common.attrs & start ? & reversed ? & (common.attrs.aria | common.attrs.aria.implicit.region)?

Element-specific attributes #

start = integer: The ordinal value of the first list item.
reversed = "reversed" | "": If present, indicates that the list is a descending list (…, 3, 2, 1).; If not present, indicates that the list is an ascending list (1, 2, 3, …).

Tag omission #

An ol element must have both a start tag and an end tag.

Permitted contexts #

common.elem.flow

Typical default display properties #

ol {

display: block;

list-style-type: decimal;

margin: 1em 0 1em 0;
