STEP 1 · LEARN

How it works

Continue a sequence from step three using the start attribute. Semantic structure should describe meaning, not visual appearance.

Correct example
<ol start="3"><li>Test</li><li>Publish</li></ol>

ol is used when sequence matters. The start attribute sets the first item number when the list continues a sequence begun earlier.

Common mistake
<ol start=""><li>Test</li><li>Publish</li></ol>

The attribute exists, but its value is empty. The browser does not receive the required number three.
