ordered list start with number other than 1

ordered list start with number other than 1

Can someone point me to documentation about making an ordered list starting
with a number other than '1.' so that when it is exported to html the
numbers will be sequential using the numbers I put in the list?

E.g., instead of a list as follows:

BEGINNING OF LIST
1. Some text
2. Some text
3. Some text
END OF LIST

I would like the list to start as follows:

BEGINNING OF LIST
27. Some text
28. Some text
29. Some text
END OF LIST

Thank you,
Shawn

It may be bad form to answer your own query, but a workaround using
the following works for now.

#+BEGIN_VERSE
   3 Some text
   4 Some text
   5 Some text
#+END_VERSE

---Although it /would/ be nice to have it auto-magically begin
numbering starting at a particular number . I am using Lamport's book
"LaTeX: User's Guide and Reference Manual"  to see if there may be a
LaTeX answer to this problem.

If this sort of question should be directed to a different mailing
list or forum, please let me know so I don't waste anyone's time.

Also the LaTeX Companion, 2nd ed. should contain something about it, but
I don't have it here at wort so I can't look up.

Hi,

this is relatively hard to implement, and I am not going to do it  
right now, sorry.
