Itext XMLWorkerHelper ignores the value attribute of the <li> tag

Question

I am using itext 5.4.5 with XMLWorker 5.4.5 to create pdf from html, which cames from ckEditor. Users can also insert text from text documents, and this sometimes leads to the following:

<ol>
   <li value="3">some text1</li>
</ol>
<div>lorem ipsum dolor</div>
<ol>
   <li value="100">some text2</li>
</ol>
<div>lorem ipsum dolor</div>
<ol>
   <li value="77">some text3</li>
</ol>

this leads to ckEditor and in html like

   3. some text1    
lorem ipsum dolor    
   100. some text2    
lorem ipsum dolor
   77. some text3

But if itext converts this html to pdf, it ignores the li-tags value and sets it to "1." and this leads to something like

  1. some text1

lorem ipsum dolor

  1. some text2

lorem ipsum dolor

  1. some text3

Does anyone know a way, reads itext, and also uses the numerical value of li-tag?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

"start" <ol>, :

<ol start="3">
  <li>some text1</li>
</ol>
<div>lorem ipsum dolor</div>
<ol start="100">
  <li>some text2</li>
</ol>
