A numbered list of a document is text formatted in a specific way in a text editor. Each paragraph of this list has a sequential numbering. Moreover, Arabic and Roman numerals can be used as numbering, as well as the alphabetical order of the Latin alphabet, Cyrillic, or another strict sequence of characters. In addition to sequential numbering, all available text formatting tools are applied to the list. This list can be set with a special style from the document template. You can also make a numbered list using the formatting controls of a text editor.
