      The Source Editor ignores and does not store the start attribute in an ordered list (ol). The start attribute is valid HTML 5 markup. See W3C: Unordered lists (UL), ordered lists (OL), and list items (LI)

      It also seems to be the only possible way to continue a numbered list (without using CSS) since CONF-1208 was closed as "Won't fix".

            [SOURCE-214] OL start attribute is ignored

            This issue was initially reported 13 years ago, and reported again as a regression bug 5 years ago https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-55178

            Would be nice if Atlasssian makes a decision to either plan a fix or accept as a known problem.

             

            This bug definitely affects my organization. We cannot use numbered lists if they are broken apart with other paragraphs, code, etc, because the numbering always start with "1"

            This is definitely a missing feature which would be very useful, especially if working with the excerpt plugin.

            Right now, we have the following use case:

            A numbered list has 7 main points, but I only want to include the first 5 points into other pages, so I create an excerpt which contains the first 5 points of the list. However, after the excerpt, the remaining 2 points restart at 1 instead of 6, even if I specify "start="6" for the <ol> in the source editor. 

            Please fix this!

            Description Original: The source editor does not store the {{start}} attribute in an ordered list. The {{start}} attribute is perfectly valid HTML markup. It also seems to be the only possible way to continue a numbered list since CONF-1208 was closed as "Won't fix".
