Starting a list at zero
 

How would I make a list (<ol>, <li>) that starts at zero and not one? I'm no
good with the CSS autonumbering stuff.

<ol start="0">, or <li value="0"> in the first <li> element. But some old
browsers don't get it right but start at 1 anyway. To stay on the really
safe side, make the numbering part of the <li> element contents, and use
<ul> together with list-style: none in CSS.

Neither are most of us, but the worst thing is that major browsers like IE
haven't implemented it.
