Converting epub to mobi removes value from li

[blitzmd]

The following is based on my understanding that the only way for a Kindle to display numbers for an ordered list <li> is to add value="" e.g. <li value="1">.

Therefore, I added value="" to my li tags in the xml of my epub. However, when I convert the epub using Kindle Previewer, the resulting .mobi file does not display any numbers for the list items.

How can I get Kindle Previewer to keep the numbering for li tags when converting epub to mobi?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A Kindle will only display numbers for an ordered list (no alpha), so you shouldn't have to do anything special. The Kindle doesn't recognize a "value" attribute for the <li> tag... "class" or "id" are the only acceptable attributes for a <li> tag that I know of... in html that's going to be used to create a mobi for the Kindle, anyway.

Just use the standard <ol> and <li> tags without the extraneous attributes and I think you'll find that your lists will be properly numbered.

@DiapDealer Thanks for responding.

I had resorted to the value attribute because the standard <ol> and <li> tags weren't working. I simplified my css file and now the numbering is working.
