When writing a blog post using Google's Blogger, you can do so using Compose mode (a WYSIWYG editor) or HTML mode. When using HTML mode, if I write:<ol type=a><li>Item a</li><li>Item b</li></ol>it correctly displays a lowercase lettered list when viewed in Compose mode. However, when I actually publish the post, it reverts back to a numbered list in my blog (despite the HTML source remaining the same as above). Any suggestions on how to fix this?
How do I produce a lettered list in Blogger?
blogger;html;list
As mentioned in comments, instead of the attribute type=a, use the equivalent inline CSS style:<ol style=list-style-type:lower-latin><li>Item a</li><li>Item b</li></ol>Apart from the type attribute being deprecated in HTML 4.01, if there are any CSS style rules set in your blogger stylesheet that specifically set the list-style-type then this will override the type attribute.(I assume that whilst in Compose mode the full/theme stylesheet is not applied.)Specifying an inline style on the element itself overrides any style specified in the external stylesheet.
