Sorry to bring this up again, but I think it is quite important. From the description of the "start" attribute (now deprecated (why? - likewise "value")) of the OL tag in the HTML 4.0 recommendation (http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/lists.html#h-10.2):- > The default starting number is "1". From the description of the CSS2 list-style-type property (http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-CSS2/lists.html#propdef-list-style-type):- > decimal > Decimal numbers, beginning with 0. There is clearly a problem here. As far as I can see there are two sensible solutions:- a) Alter the CSS definition so that decimal lists start at 1. or, b) Introduce a new property (perhaps list-start) which would take the place of the HTML attribute, allowing the starting number to be specified by the author. It should, of course, default to the value 1. Tim Bagot
