##### 8.5.5.1 Numbering ordered lists

The following settings handle the items in two-level ordered lists.

Paragraph format definitions:

    [Numbered]
    number = ListNum
    xref = NumXref

    [NumberedFirst]
    based = Numbered
    number = ListFirstNum

    [Numbered2]
    based = Numbered
    number = List2Num

    [Numbered2First]
    based = Numbered2
    number = List2FirstNum

Number format component definitions:

    [ListStream]
    counters = 2
    counter types = Num LCAlpha

    [ListNum]
    stream = ListStream
    counter = 1
    form = <counter1/>.<tab/>

    [ListFirstNum]
    based = ListNum
    start = 1

    [List2Num]
    stream = ListStream
    counter = 2
    form = <tab/><counter2/>.<tab/>

    [List2FirstNum]
    based = List2Num
    start = 1

In this example, format NumberedFirst starts a list at number 1, using Arabic numerals, and resets the following (higher-numbered) counter; format Numbered continues the same list. Format Numbered2 starts or continues a subordinate list, using lowercase letters instead of numerals.

Note: For ordered lists, these settings take effect in HTML only if you do not specify HTML list styles; see §30.11.2 Converting list formats to HTML list styles.
