If you are wondering how I created Chinese and Japanese numbering for the lists in this web page then view the source with your browser. You will see that I have used CSS list-style-type. BUT ... If you are using Internet Explorer you will probably not see the Chinese and Japanese because Internet Explorer's support for list-style-type is inadequate. So, to see what it should look like then please view with a conforming browser like Safari or Firefox.
