Validation: attribute 'start' is not declared for element 'ol'
I get the above mentioned validation message in Sigil, why is start not allowed here?
The corresponding line is <ol start="14"> <li>something It's valid html and does exactly what it should, output: 14 something If I do it the other way <ol> <li value="14">something the result is also correct, but the validation analog shows "value not allowed for li" Why are those wrong and how do I do it right? |

start is an xhtml 1.0 transitional attribute. It is not supported by xhtml 1.1.

Because those are not valid attributes in XHTML, and ePub uses XHTML, not HTML.
I believe there are equivalent properties in CSS, which you can use combined with XHTML, but they are not officially supported in ePub, so the bottom line is, I'm afraid: do not use numbered lists in ePub. |

Thanks.
I think I'll use it anyway since it works everywhere I have tested so far and just ignore the validation error... |

You can, but a lot of readers will ignore it.
