In the last lesson, you learned how to change the list type for unordered lists. You can also do this with ordered lists, and this is even more useful. Ther are five types of ordered lists. The types are:

I		Large Roman numerals
A		Uppercase letters
1		Numbers
a		Lowercase letters
i		Lowercase Roman numerals

To use these, you specify list type exactly as you learned with unordered lists. That would look like this:

Code
Juice Menu: <ol type="I"> <li>Apple</li> <li>Grape</li> <li>Orange</li> </ol>

What you see
Juice Menu: Apple Grape Orange

This is incredibly useful when making an outline on your page. You can get the computer to nest numbered lists of different types. Here's an example. The spacing and colors are just to make it easier to read.

Code

<ol type="I">
<li>Introduction</li>
<li>Body
   <ol type="A">
   <li>Main Point
      <ol type="1">
      <li>Sub-point</li>
      <li>Sub-point
         <ol type="a">
         <li>Supporting info
             <ol type="i">
            <li>Detail</li>
            <li>Detail</li>
            </ol>
         </li>

Admittedly, I made this long and complicated, but this is to show you what things you can accomplish with ordered lists.
