Common attributes and common linking attributes.
Additional attributes: (Required attributes, if any, are bold)
In an OrderedList, each member of the list is marked with a numeral, letter, or other sequential symbol (such as roman numerals).
Formatted as a displayed block.
If no value is specified for Numeration, Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3, …) are to be used.
In nested lists, DocBook does not specify the sequence of numerations.
Note that the attributes of OrderedList have a significant influence on the processing expectations.
These elements contain orderedlist: answer, appendix, article, bibliodiv, bibliography, blockquote, callout, caption, caution, chapter, colophon, constraintdef, dedication, entry, example, footnote, glossary, glossdef, glossdiv, highlights, important, index, indexdiv, informalexample, legalnotice, listitem, msgexplan, msgtext, note, para, partintro, preface, procedure, qandadiv, qandaset, question, refsect1, refsect2, refsect3, refsection, refsynopsisdiv, revdescription, sect1, sect2, sect3, sect4, sect5, section, setindex, sidebar, simplesect, step, taskprerequisites, taskrelated, tasksummary, td, textobject, th, tip, warning.
The following elements occur in orderedlist: abstract, address, anchor, authorblurb, beginpage, blockinfo, blockquote, bridgehead, caution, classsynopsis, cmdsynopsis, constructorsynopsis, destructorsynopsis, epigraph, fieldsynopsis, formalpara, funcsynopsis, graphic, graphicco, highlights, important, indexterm, informalequation, informalexample, informalfigure, informaltable, listitem, literallayout, mediaobject, mediaobjectco, methodsynopsis, note, para, programlisting, programlistingco, remark, screen, screenco, screenshot, simpara, synopsis, tip, title, titleabbrev, warning.
If Continuation is specified, it indicates how list numbering should begin relative to the immediately preceding list. Restarts, the default, indicates that numbering should begin again at 1. Continues indicates that numbering should begin where the preceding list left off.
In a nested list, InheritNum indicates whether or not the enumeration of interior lists should include the numbers of containing list items. If InheritNum is Inherit then the third item of a list inside the second item of a list inside the fourth item of a list might be enumerated as “4.2.3”. If it is Ignore, the default, then it would be simply “3”. (The Numeration attribute controls the actual format of the item numbers, of course.)
Numeration specifies the style of numbering to be used for items in the current OrderedList.
Spacing indicates whether or not the vertical space in the list should be minimized.
