Ordered list (<ol>) start attribute not applied

[aih]

Using weasyprint 0.32, I'm converting a source with this form:

<ol class="arabic" start="3">
    <li>
        <p>The third way to accomplish this is...</p>
    </li>
</ol>

And it is being rendered:

1. The third way to accomplish this is...

The 'start' attribute is not being applied.

It should be managed by https://github.com/Kozea/WeasyPrint/blob/master/weasyprint/css/__init__.py#L445, I have to check why it's not working (and add a test).

It's actually working, but:

• you need to enable the "presentational hints" options (using the -p option from the CLI, or setting the presentational_hints option of the render* methods from the API),
• there's a bug in 0.32 and 0.33 (fixed by 12c297d) that's preventing the presentational hints to be honored when you render PDFs. That's a dirty bug, I'm sorry 😞.

So, you can see that it works right now with 0.32 using weasyprint -p file.html file.png. Unfortunately, if you want to generate PDFs, you'll have to wait for 0.34 or backport 12c297d…

Thank you for your fast work on this! It may be worth adding a note to the 'presentational hints' section of the documentation-- I did not know what presentational attributes were and didn't think it would be relevant in this case. Something like:

Presentational hints include a wide array of attributes that direct styling in html, including font @color names and @size attribute, list attributes (@type and @start), various table alignment attributes, and others. If the pdf is missing some of the features you expect from the html, try running weasyprint with the -p option.

I cloned the repo with 12c297d, installed locally, and can confirm it works. Thanks again!

Done, thank you for the report!
