You can test this in the sandbox : ``` <html> <head> <style> li { list-style-type: none; } li::before { counter-increment: item; content: counters(item, ".") ". "; } </style> </head> <body dir="auto"> <ol style="counter-set: item 4"> <li>test</li> <li>test</li> <li>test</li> <li>test</li> </ol> </body> </html> ``` The styling does not work, but `counter-reset: item 4` does.
