Syntax
value="number"
Description
When the
value attribute is applied to an
li, it sets that list item’s number. The
li elements that follow the one to which
value is applied increment from that number.
Although this attribute takes a numeric value, the value that’s actually
displayed may be non-numeric (for more on this, see start). The browser interpretation of the example code
is shown in Figure 1.

Good support is
provided for the value attribute, but given that
it’s a deprecated attribute, you should simply avoid using
it.
