<dl>
 <dt>{{htmlattrdef("value")}}</dt>
 <dd>This integer attribute indicates the current ordinal value of the list item as defined by the {{HTMLElement("ol")}} element. The only allowed value for this attribute is a number, even if the list is displayed with Roman numerals or letters. List items that follow this one continue numbering from the value set. The <strong>value</strong> attribute has no meaning for unordered lists ({{HTMLElement("ul")}}) or for menus ({{HTMLElement("menu")}}).
 <div class="note"><strong>Note</strong>: This attribute was deprecated in HTML4, but reintroduced in HTML5.</div>

 <div class="note">
 <p><strong>Note:</strong> Prior to {{Gecko("9.0")}}, negative values were incorrectly converted to 0. Starting in {{Gecko("9.0")}} all integer values are correctly parsed.</p>
 </div>
 </dd>
 <dt>{{htmlattrdef("type")}} {{Deprecated_inline}}</dt>
 <dd>This character attribute indicates the numbering type:
 <ul>
  <li><code>a</code>: lowercase letters</li>
  <li><code>A</code>: uppercase letters</li>
  <li><code>i</code>: lowercase Roman numerals</li>
  <li><code>I</code>: uppercase Roman numerals</li>
  <li><code>1</code>: numbers</li>
 </ul>
 This type overrides the one used by its parent {{HTMLElement("ol")}} element, if any.

 <div class="note"><strong>Usage note:</strong> This attribute has been deprecated: use the CSS {{cssxref("list-style-type")}} property instead.</div>

<pre class="brush: html">&lt;ol&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;fourth item&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;fifth item&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
</pre>

<p>The above HTML will output:</p>

<ol start="3" style="list-style-type: upper-roman;">
 <li>third item</li>
 <li>fourth item</li>
 <li>fifth item</li>
</ol>

<pre class="brush: html">&lt;ul&gt;
