Along with bulleted lists, you can also create numbered or alphabetized lists which are known in HTML as ordered lists. To have an ordered list, you use the ol element which requires both an <ol> start tag and an </ol> end tag. Between these tags you must place at least one or more items, each of which are preceded by an <li> start tag

Example :

<ol type="a" >
<li> Decide on order type.
<li> Use appropriate order styles.
<li> Enjoy with different bullet styles.
</ol>
Result :
  1. Decide on order type.
  2. Use appropriate order styles.
  3. Enjoy with different bullet styles.

Just change the type of <ol> to <ol="value"> to have the desired ordered list.
