Dear Hussein, Small follow-up
I've just filed an issue at https://github.com/docbook/docbook/issues/222 I looked into the possibility / workaround of ending the current < orderedlist> and starting a new <orderedlist> when a value attribute is present. - When the value attribute occurs with an item *after *the first item it looks like to work, we have to remember the numeration but that should be possible - When the value attribute is *with *the first item the problem is (due to the way of the implementation, the <orderedlist> is already opened before the first item) that we would have an empty first <orderedlist> with a warning like: unfinished element This is a more difficult problem, but would probably be solvable as well.
