Chris, I tried to do it using the

and got no numbers, just a bracketed tag. I then tried the HTML equivalent of <ol><li></li></ol> and again got nowhere. HTML and BBCode are both ON.

It's obvious I'm doing something wrong and it's clear I cannot see the forest for the trees.

Hi Pieter,

To do an ordered list you have to specify whether you want it to be alphabetical or numbered with:

for a numbered list or
1. for an alphabetical list.
  
  Then before each ordered item you have to preface it with a bracketed asterisk, then close out the code.
  
  So it is written like this for a numbered list:
  Code: Select all
```
My shopping list:
[list=1]
[*] milk
[*] sugar
[*] eggs
[*] flour
[*] bread
[/list]
```
  And it appears like this:
  
  My shopping list:
  1. milk
  2. sugar
  3. eggs
  4. flour
  5. bread

Hope that helps!

Chris
