    HTML has a decent support for numbered lists, as you can read in
    http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/lists.html

    More specifically, it supports
    (http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/lists.html#type-values):

            Type | Numbering style | Example
    ----------------+-------------------------+------------------
            1 | arabic numbers | 1, 2, 3, ...
            a | lower alpha | a, b, c, ...
            A | upper alpha | A, B, C, ...
            i | lower roman | i, ii, iii, ...
            I | upper roman | I, II, III, ...

    And yes, they can be nested, change the starting number, etc.
    The recommended way to do it, nowadays, is through styles, and the use
    of sgml/xml argument TYPE="(1|a|A|i|I)" is deprecated.
