How to add list (numbers) in views so output shows numbers ?

I am trying to add numbers in the list

    <td><%= name.fname %></td>
    <td><%= name.lname %></td>

as when I added

<td><li></li></td>, 

it is not showing the numbers but only

Answer 1

What you want is an ordered list:

<ol>
  <% @name.each do |name| %>
    <li>
      <%= name.fname %> <%= name.lname %>
    </li>
  <% end %>
</ol>

Answer 2

Buddy its not

<td><li></li></td>

rather its

<ol>
  <li>Coffee</li>
  <li>Tea</li>
  <li>Milk</li>
</ol>

<ul>
  <li>Coffee</li>
  <li>Tea</li>
  <li>Milk</li>
</ul>

Answer 3

<% @name.each_with_index do |name, index| %>
   <tr>
    <td><%= index+1 %></td>
    <td><%= name.fname %></td>
    <td><%= name.lname %></td>
  </tr>
<% end %>
