Hello every one, i am new here

I have a problem now, I have a very long legal document to put on the web. That document should respect that format:

TITLE
1. ***
TITLE
2. ***
TITLE
3. ***
* ***
TITLE
4. ***
5.***
* ***
TITLE
6. ***.
* 6.1 ****;
* 6.2****

what I want is to use the ordered list and define the TITLE as H2 elements. so the problem I have is if I do this, I would have to rely on the deprecated element â€œstartâ€ and â€œvalueâ€ which I would like to avoid. I could have use the counter-increment property but it doesn't work in IE 6 and I need this page to be cross-browser compatible.
so do you have any idea about it, could you help me, thank u :)

What you posted as deprecated elements is showing up garbled... and I can't think of what you might mean there.

On the other hand, I know this HTML won't validate, but it works. Will it work for you?

<ol>
  <h2>TITLE</h2>
  <li>***</li>
  <h2>TITLE</h2>
  <li>***</li>
  <h2>TITLE</h2>
  <li>***<br>***</li>
  <h2>TITLE</h2>
  <li>***</li>
  <li>***</li>
  <h2>TITLE</h2>
  <li>***
    <ol>
      <li>***</li>
      <li>***</li>
    </ol>
  </li>
</ol>

or if you need it to validate, it's a bit more markup:

<h2>TITLE</h2>
<ol>
  <li>***</li>
</ol>

<h2>TITLE</h2>
<ol start="2">
  <li>***</li>
</ol>

<h2>TITLE</h2>
<ol start="3">
  <li>***<br>***</li>
</ol>

<h2>TITLE</h2>
<ol start="4">
  <li>***</li>
  <li>***</li>
</ol>

<h2>TITLE</h2>
<ol start="6">
  <li>***
    <ol>
      <li>***</li>
      <li>***</li>
    </ol>
  </li>
</ol>

Is there a reason it has to use ordered lists? The structure looks more like an outline than a list format.

<h1>TITLE</h1>
<h2>1. ***</h2>
<h1>TITLE</h1>
<h2>2. ***</h2>
<h1>TITLE</h1>
<h2>3. ***</h2>
<p>* ***</p>
<h1>TITLE</h1>
<h2>4. ***</h2>
<h2>5.***</h2>
<p>* ***</p>
<h1>TITLE</h1>
<h2>6. ***.</h2>
<h3>* 6.1 ****;</h3>
<h3>* 6.2****</h3>
