Numbered list starting from a specific number

[Mario Public]

I can use

# a

# b

to obtain

1. a

2. b

How can I set the list to start from a specific number? My goal is to obtain

48. a

49. b

Thanks

I'm a bit confused. You increment both. The "number" and the "index". So for me it would be

48.a

48.b

49.a

49.b

and so on.

have fun!

Hi,

The problem with CSS numbering is, that it can change if a tiddler is transcluded. So if you do reference eg: 48.a from an other tiddler, IMO it would be much better, to use "hyperlinks" to tiddler titles and heading names.

CSS is very flexible. So you can do stuff like this: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Lists_and_Counters/Using_CSS_counters

BUT it's also very "brittle". ... Most of the time, we create lists dynamically based on tags or fields. So the numbering can change at any time.

Rather than using the wikitext markup you can use html and make use of the start value.

<ol start="48">

   <li>That which One and two belong</li>

   <ol>

      <li>One</li>

      <li>Two</li>

   <ol>

</ol>

Note you could also have a list widget around the <li><<currentTiddler>></li> and it will still be honored.

However with lists they will number as many items as there are.

You will have to play with more html/css to get the a/b rather than 1/2 etc...

Thanks to everyone.

Maybe I was unclear. The list must contain  a specific sequence like

48. xyx

49. xyz

50. xyz

I tried the html

<ol start="48">

   <li>That which One and two belong</li>

   <ol>

      <li>One</li>

      <li>Two</li>

   <ol>

</ol>

I was unsuccesful. Should I change the tiddler type to text/html?

Insert a full html header, body etc?

Thanks

It works! No need to change the type!

TW5 supports html tags like ol
