{{Ordered list|entry1|entry2|...}}

Offset starting value

{{Ordered list|start=start|entry1|entry2|...|item1_style=CSS1|item2_style=CSS2|...}}

Changing the symbol style

{{Ordered list|list_style_type=type|entry1|entry2|...}}

With CSS style

{{Ordered list|item_style=CSS-all|entry1|entry2|...}}

With separate CSS styles for each item

{{Ordered list|entry1|item1_style=CSS1|entry2|item2_style=CSS2|...}}

With custom values for each item

{{Ordered list|item1_value=value1|entry1|item2_value=value2|entry2|...}}
