I am using FrameMkaer 2019 and DITA. In some cases, I need to set the start of value of the ordered list to a different value than 1. How can I do that?

Do you have the ability (under DITA) to set the Number > Format in Paragraph Designer?

Here's an entry I'm using in a current project:
Format: N:<n=0>.\t

Although you can use an override to do this (in unstructured FM), I always use dedicated Paragraph tags to do it.

So I have checked it using fm file format. The WYSIWYG is perfect, as the list starts from the value I set o:<n=22>)\t

But in the pdf the list starts from 1 again!

@Hadi,

I hope this solves your current problem.

Thanks Pnagpal for the details,

this can possibly solve my current problem. The issue is that I have other lists that start from other values. That means I would need to redo this for every list which starts from an integer other than one; although, most of my lists start from one.
