[thelist] Re: CSS to bold *just* the number on an <li>

[Geoff Sheridan]

I think you can do it with a <FONT> tag. Off-hand it'd be something like:
<OL>
<LI <FONT FACE= BOLD>>Item one</FONT>
<LI><FONT FACE=BLOD>Item two</FONT/
</LI>

I think. That'd be OK for your site, aadvark? It's not like you're
not fussy about your HTML or anything....
