Thanks, Josh (and Jukka and Phillipe). I tried the list-style-position: inside option. When text wraps in the list item, it wraps back to the start of the item number. That wouldn't be acceptable here.
Using generated content is out because our corporate standard web browser is IE6. IE7 and later aren't even on the testing horizon, and only a few people get special permission to use Firefox or Opera (for the purposes of testing our public sites). Jukka, interesting that you mention using table markup instead. That's what our current enterprise content management (ECM) system uses. Its content editing tool has outline buttons that transparently do the heavy lifting of creating/destroying table elements, calculating outline numbers, etc. The content editing tool of our soon-to-come new ECM uses standard list markup instead - so working with outlines-marked-up-as-tables will be a tedious manual process. (And, unfortunately, when our content converted over into the new system, the outlines came across as tables.) We have hundreds of pages with the outline-tables problem, so I guess we're just going to have to put up with them and over time get rid of the outline-tables.

List item 2 i suggested this to david offlist, but since it seems like a simple answer to a simple question, i'm reposting to the list, for the record. ul { list-style-position: inside } as described here: http://www.blooberry.com/indexdot/css/properties/list/lsposition.htm (happy to read why this is an inferior solution, though :-) josh ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/ "MMS <hmsa.com>" made the following annotations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This electronic message is not an offer to contract, the acceptance of an offer to contract, or in any other way intended to contractually obligate HMSA; neither is it intended to change the terms of any existing contract unless specifically so stated.
