Question Ordered List 'types' not showing up in website (although working in editor)

[MichaelJLW]

If I want to change an OL from the default 1, 2, 3 'type' to say a, b, c, I can change the text editor Visual to Text and add in the HTML.
So in this case I add type="a" to the <ol> tag. This then shows up fine in the editor window when I revert to Visual. The list items are now all alphabetic rather than numeric.
I hit [update] and check the result . The display to the right still shows numbers not letters and the website itself still shows numbers.
The Elementor Text Editor window correctly shows an alphabetic list though whenever I go back to look.
Looks like a bug to me. Can anyone help?

@MichaelJLW at least your ordered list sort of works. I put in <ol type="a"> and I get a number. I'm not able to get the ordered list to work at all.

Could someone please help with the ordered list?

I came across this post earlier as I was experiencing the same problem and thought I'd share the solution for other Google searchers who ended up here like I did.

The solution was pretty simple, Elementor has a style that overrides the "type" attribute below:

<ol type="a">

To get it to display lower case letters you have to use the style attribute too (fight fire with fire ). So if you style it like 've done below, it should change the numbers to lower case letters:

<ol style="list-style-type: lower-alpha;">

Although I used lower case letters as an example, this should also work with other list types too.
