<div>
You can do it like this:<br />

<pre><code id="code-20-39927391-1">&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-style:italic;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style:normal;&quot;&gt;Monday&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-style:italic;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style:normal;&quot;&gt;Tuesday&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-style:italic;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style:normal;&quot;&gt;Wednesday&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;</code></pre>

Hi Dan,<br />
Thank you for responding so quickly. &nbsp;I just tried it. &nbsp;It's close! &nbsp;It rendered an italic number, not an italic lower case letter:<br />
<br />
<i>1.</i> Monday<br />
<i>2.</i> Tuesday<br />
<i>3.</i> Wednesday<br />
<br />
Any tweak I can make to get the lower case letter?

Hi Dan,
Thank you for responding so quickly.  I just tried it.  It's close!  It rendered an italic number, not an italic lower case letter:

1. Monday
2. Tuesday
3. Wednesday

Ah! &nbsp;That did it. &nbsp;Thank you very much!

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have minimal html experience. &nbsp;Just need to update some text in a database field with some html tags to render an ordered list. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
The list is deeply nested. &nbsp;I'm using &lt;ol type=&quot;where my list type is equal to one of the following: A, 1, a, i&quot;. &nbsp;The one section requires <i>italic</i> lower case type. &nbsp;For example:<br />
<br />
<i>a.</i> Monday<br />
<i>b.</i> Tuesday<br />
<i>c.</i> Wednesday<br />
<br />
No css. &nbsp;Silly question, but how do I get the italics in there? &nbsp;What's the best way to approach this?<br />
<br />
Thank you.

ordered list with italic type

A font is a particular size, weight and style of a typeface. Each font is a matched set of type, one piece (called a "sort") for each glyph, and a typeface consists of a range of fonts that share an overall design. With the advent of digital typography, font is frequently synonymous with typeface, although the two terms do not necessarily mean the same thing. In particular, the use of "vector" or "outline" fonts means that different sizes of a typeface can be dynamically generated from one design. Each style may still be in a separate "font file" -- for instance, the typeface "Futura" may include the fonts "Futura roman", "Futura italic", "Futura bold" and "Futura extended" —- but the term "font" might be applied either to one of these alone or to the whole typeface.
