Hello,

I have noticed that when you use the ordinary <ol><li>item 1</li></ol> in a html document and when points wraps onto another line it is indented to line up with the first word above. However, if I display a list using css the second line will not line up with the first line.

Does anyone know how to accomplish this feat using css.

Thanks in advance,

RCorr

After further investigation, I realize that an unordered list wraps the second line of a point to line up with the first line when using CSS or not.

It is when an ordered list is use that the second line is not lined up with the first word in the line above. Does anyone know how to give the effect of an unordered list on an order list for points that are more than a line long?

Thanks,

RCorr
