If you’re still looking for an answer, try the counter-increment and counter-reset properties. A good article can be found at:

Just starting to explore CSS3 … but unable to find a workaround for ordered lists that break off and then continue their numbering, eg:

<ol start=”4″>

and

<li value=”9″>

Important for HTML presentation of block quotes of legal documents etc.

Can you help?
