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.
