TIL roman numerals in list elements

POSTED ON:

TAGS:

In HTML: I've only used bullets or numbers for list elements.
If I was making custom bullets, I'd do that in CSS.

In documentation, you often find roman numeral listings, and I never bothered to figure out how that was done!

Well, this is it!

<ol type="i">

Sets the numbering type:
a for lowercase letters
A for uppercase letters
i for lowercase Roman numerals
I for uppercase Roman numerals
1 for numbers (default)

The specified type is used for the entire list unless a different type attribute is used on an enclosed

  • element.

    But after a while:
    You're probably better off using css list-style-type since there's a lot more things you can do.
