The default is Arabic numbering. In an HTML attribute: {{nobr|{{code|lang=html|code=<ol type="foo">}}}}; or in a CSS declaration: {{nobr|{{code|lang=css|code=ol { list-style-type: foo; } }}}} – replacing <code><var>foo</var></code> with one of the following:
* A, B, C&nbsp;... – HTML value: <code>A</code>; CSS value: <code>upper-alpha</code>
* a, b, c&nbsp;... – HTML value: <code>a</code>; CSS value: <code>lower-alpha</code>
* I, II, III&nbsp;... – HTML value: <code>I</code>; CSS value: <code>upper-roman</code>
* i, ii, iii&nbsp;... – HTML value: <code>i</code>; CSS value: <code>lower-roman</code>
* 1, 2, 3&nbsp;... – HTML value: <code>1</code>; <code>decimal</code>
CSS provides several other options not available as pure-HTML markup, including <code>none</code>, and options for [[CJK]], Hebrew, Georgian, and Armenian script. The attribute is deprecated in HTML 3.2 and 4.01, but not in HTML 5.
