Test Case Instruction

Test Instruction	Instruction Detail	Expected Test Case Result
IC-1	Visually apparent lists. For each list, determine if it appears to be ordered, unordered, or a description list. Ordered lists `<ol>` are numbered sequentially and, if necessary, hierarchically (e.g., 1, 2, 2a, 2ai, etc.) and are used where sequence or the ability to reference specific items by number/letter is important. Unordered lists `<ul>` are not numbered and are used where sequence or the ability to reference specific items by number/letter is not important. Description lists `<dl>` are used to group terms with their descriptions.	This code sample includes one visually apparent ordered list.
13.4-2	For each visually apparent list: Check that content that has the visual appearance of a numbered list is marked as an ordered list. [SC 1.3.1]	Fail - the visually apparent ordered list is defined programatically as an unordered list.
Result	If the above check fails, Baseline Test 13.4-List fails.	FAIL; the check fails.
