The following parameter entities contain orderedlist:
In an OrderedList, each member of the list is marked with
a numeral, letter, or other sequential symbol (such as roman numerals).
Formatted as a displayed block.
If no value is specified for Numeration,
Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3, …) are to be used.
In nested lists, DocBook does not specify the sequence of numerations.
Note that the attributes of OrderedList have a significant
influence on the processing expectations.
These elements contain orderedlist:
answer, appendix, article, bibliodiv, bibliography, blockquote, callout, caption, caution, chapter, colophon, constraintdef, dedication, entry, example, footnote, glossary, glossdef, glossdiv, highlights, important, index, indexdiv, informalexample, legalnotice, listitem, msgexplan, msgtext, note, para, partintro, preface, procedure, qandadiv, qandaset, question, refsect1, refsect2, refsect3, refsection, refsynopsisdiv, revdescription, sect1, sect2, sect3, sect4, sect5, section, setindex, sidebar, simplesect, step, taskprerequisites, taskrelated, tasksummary, td, textobject, th, tip, warning.
The following elements occur in orderedlist:

If continuation is specified, it indicates
how list numbering should begin relative to the immediately preceding
list. Restarts, the default, indicates that numbering should
begin again at 1. Continues indicates that numbering should
begin where the preceding list left off.
In a nested list, InheritNum indicates whether
or not the enumeration of interior lists should include the numbers of
containing list items. If InheritNum is
Inherit then the third item of a list inside the second item
of a list inside the fourth item of a list might be enumerated
as “4.2.3”. If it is Ignore, the default, then it would
be simply “3”. (The Numeration attribute
controls the actual format of the item numbers, of course.)
Numeration specifies the style of numbering
to be used for items in the current OrderedList.
Spacing indicates whether or not the
vertical space in the list should be minimized.
