    • We collect Confluence feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      Per this documentation, I do not believe that the Confluence Storage Format <ol> tag honors any attributes. I would find it useful if it honored the "start" attribute, to specify the starting value of the ordered list. For example:

      4.

      5.

      6.

      Instead of always

      1.

      2.

      3.

      This attribute is honored by HTML5, so I believe it would be familiar to many Confluence users.

            Hello,

            Following is a description of our request.

            Request: Enable Control of List Counting by supporting html attribute ‘start’

            Problem Description:

            HTML allows to control the start counting of a list from a specified number by using the start attribute as shown below

            <ol start=”8”>

            <li>some item</li>

            <li> another item</li>

            </ol>

             To ensure Confluence is displaying HTML code after import via REST API as expected the attribute should be supported.

            Currently the HTML code does not contain the attribute and leads to unexpected content after adding the content via REST API.

             

            Also, the interim resolution provided by Atlassian to try using HTML macro does not work in our case because these are restrictions and controls by our ALM Admins and we cannot use this HTML macro. Atlassian suggestion was to include this, for example:

             <p class="auto-cursor-target"><br /></p><ac:structured-macro ac:name="html" ac:schema-version="1" ac:macro-id="fc7898df-c96c-4519-91cf-03185b0bc548"><ac:plain-text-body><![CDATA[<ol start="8"> <li>some item</li> <li> another item</li></ol>]]></ac:plain-text-body></ac:structured-macro><p class="auto-cursor-target"><br /></p>
