When embedding HTML with an ordered list with a specific starting value, the numbering still starts at one. So something like:

<ol><li value="3">Item 3</li></ol>

Shows up numbered as 1 instead of 3. Is there something we can do to make it obey the value attribute to start numbering?

Thanks.

Hello,

You can use a custom list style (https://www.phpdocx.com/documentation/introduction/html-to-word-PHP Lists section) or use phpdocx 9 and a start attribute in the ol tag:

<ol start="3">
 <li>...</li>
 <li>...</li>
</ol>

Regards.

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately I have no control over the HTML as it comes from other sources like HTML editors. I will post something in the Suggestions forum to support the attribute and hopefully one day soon support will be added.

Cheers.
