HTML has a decent support for numbered lists, as you can read in
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/lists.html

More specifically, it supports
(http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/lists.html#type-values):

        Type    |       Numbering style   |     Example
----------------+-------------------------+------------------
        1       |       arabic numbers    |     1, 2, 3, ...
        a       |       lower alpha       |     a, b, c, ...
        A       |       upper alpha       |     A, B, C, ...
        i       |       lower roman       |     i, ii, iii, ...
        I       |       upper roman       |     I, II, III, ...

And yes, they can be nested, change the starting number, etc.
The recommended way to do it, nowadays, is through styles, and the use
of sgml/xml argument TYPE="(1|a|A|i|I)" is deprecated.
