Numbered Lists

Numbered lists are a structured way to present information in a sequential or ordered format, typically using numbers (e.g., 1, 2, 3) or other markers like letters or Roman numerals. They are commonly used in documentation, technical writing, and user interfaces to outline steps, prioritize items, or show a hierarchy. In development contexts, they help organize code snippets, installation instructions, or procedural guides for clarity and readability.

Also known as: Ordered lists, Sequential lists, OL (HTML tag), Enumerated lists, Step-by-step lists
