Googled this for a couple of days, no answers yet..
I want to define a class for ordered lists that will change the marker
while retaining all the other attributes. Specifically, I want list
items to be preceded by an octothorpe and followed by a full-stop and
a space. I.e., change the default behaviour from something like this:
1. first LI
2. second LI
3. third LI, with
wrapping content
and the hanging indent auto-set.
to
#1. first LI
#2. second LI
#3. third LI, with
wrapping content
and the hanging indent auto-set.
So far I've managed to get the marker changed with a 'list-style-type:
none' and a custom counter. The hanging indent isn't working
properly, though, and I can't seem to set the marker box width
independent of the LI content box. And I'd really rather not futz
with my own counters, since that messes up the "start=" and "value="
attributes for discontiguously numbered list.
So I guess there are two questions in here:
1. How can I set up a custom marker for an ordered list and let the
marker box and hanging indent be auto-sized? And
2. Is there any pseudo-identifier for the 'default' counter in an
ordered list, so I can use "counter-reset: <name> 12" and
"counter(<name>)" to modify the automatic counter and not have to
define my own?
Thanks!
