Is it possible to create an ordered list which doesn’t begin with 1? I have two situations I’m facing in which I would like to do this (or be enlightened to a better approach):
1) The first situation is caused purely for design reasons: I have a long ordered list with relatively short items, and I am trying to render it in a multiple column layout. Using CSS3’s multi column is not an option unfortunately, and I’m not worried about creating true flowing multi column copy. So rendering multiple columns is easy enough using well known CSS column layouting techniques such as float, and making each column contain an ordered list is no problem, but each list starts with 1. I want the list to seem as though it continues from column to column, so 1-10 is in the first column, 11-20 is in the second, and 21-30 is in the third. I quite stumped, any ideas here are welcome.
2) The second situation is like the first, but instead of breaking up the ordered list across columns on the same page it is broken up across multiple pages. I’m expecting/hoping that a single solution would be suitable for both cases.
Thanks for any help.
