  You can use the [`start` attribute](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/ol#attr-start) to control the start number of an ordered list:
  
  ```html
  <ol start="2">
      <li>Item 1</li>
      <li>Item 2</li>
  </ol>
  
  ```
  
  Depending on your markup and specific requirements, you can also use a [CSS counter](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Lists_and_Counters/Using_CSS_counters), though it is a bit more involved and not as accessible by default.
