That's a much nicer solution and obviates the need for the extra style sheet, though I confess I don't fully understand how it works. I need to get my head round the -1.5em/+1.5em trick. But the example page from the csshowto http://csshowto.com/examples/hangingpunctuation.html shows a weird example and I can't see why one would want to achieve that, except in the case of a ul with no markers. Hanging punctuation is tolerable sometimes, but hanging numbers or bullets seem hideous to me.
