two level ordered list?

[amahmood]

Can we have two or three level listing using <OL> or something like that?

an exmple of output:

1. Item one
2. Item two
    2.1. Item two  point one
    2.2. Item two point two
3. Item Three
4. and so on 

as far as I know using <OL> we can only create a simple numbering but not for example 2.2 and 2.3.

I was wondering if there is a tag that can do that for us?

Of course you can. You can nest as many as you need. You can mix and nest ol's ul's dl's and all sorts.

Unfortunately the types for ordered lists are 1 (numbered), A and a (alphabetical), and I or i (roman numeral). There is no tag that I am aware of that allows a list type of 1.1 (number and decimal).

However, you can nest ordered lists and use an alternate type for the nested lists:

1. Item 1
   A. Sub-item 1.A
2. Item 2
   A. Sub-item 2.A
etc.

<ol type="1">
 <li>Item 1
  <ol type="A">
   <li>Item 1-A</li>
  </ol>
 </li>
 <li>Item 2
  <ol type="a">
   <li>Item 2-a</li>
  </ol>
 </li>
 <li>Item 3
  <ol type="I">
   <li>Item 3-I</li>
  </ol>
 </li>
 <li>Item 4
  <ol type="i">
   <li>Item 4-i</li>
  </ol>
 </li>
</ol>

Eventually this sort of thing will come into play but for now it's best to generate that on the server side.
