##### 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.
