Demo for Help:List#Multi-column numbered lists to see that with 3 digits all are shown, with each of the three methods.

Extra indentation of lists

In a numbered list in a large font, some browsers do not show more than two digits, unless extra indentation is applied (if there are multiple columns: for each column). This can be done with CSS:

ol { margin-left: 2cm}

or alternatively, like below.

This is semantically incorrect, but commonly used and usually does the job.

<ul> #abc #def #ghi </ul>	abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi abc def ghi	Creates an identical markup to the equivalent HTML example. This is the recommended method.
