<tip>
here's a neat way to set up a Question/Answer format  -- use an alpha
ordered list and set the list item numbers to 17 and 1  (17 and 18 in
french  ;o)

the neat part is, it behaves just like an "ordinary" ordered list,
inserting a period after the Q and A and nicely indenting the list item

  <ol type="A">
  <li value="17"><p>What is the best way to get the list item numbers into
boldface?</p></li>
  <li value="1"><p>Make sure your list items use paragraph tags, then apply
font weight in a style sheet like this:
     <blockquote><code>
     &lt;style&gt;<br />
       ol { font-weight:bold; }<br />
       li p { font-weight:normal; }<br />
     &lt;/style&gt;
  </code></blockquote></p></li>
  <!-- et cetera -->
  </ol>
