File:Test Template Info-Icon - Version (2).svg Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Syntax

Simple

{{Ordered list |entry1 |entry2| ... }}

Offset starting value

{{Ordered list |start=start|entry1 |entry2 |... |item1_style=CSS1 |item2_style=CSS2| ... }}

Changing the symbol style

{{Ordered list |list_style_type=type |entry1 |entry2 |... }}

With CSS style

{{Ordered list |item_style=CSS-all |entry1 |entry2 |... }}

With separate CSS styles for each item

{{Ordered list |entry1 |item1_style=CSS1 |entry2 |item2_style=CSS2 |... }}

With custom values for each item

{{Ordered list |item1_value=value1 |entry1 |item2_value=value2 |entry2 |... }}
