The character denoted by • is not a meaningless glyph but the BULLET character, which has the meaning of being a list bullet - few other uses are known. It is not often entered as a character, since people use list constructs like <ul> elements and let software (like web browsers) generate the bullets. But in a situation like the one under discussion, I don't see why you could not use BULLET as a character, to style it separately. > Back in the day most screen-readers did not read out character > entities If someone is worried about that, he can enter the BULLET character as such. I used • here mainly to avoid sending non-Ascii data to Usenet (maybe overcautious). -- Yucca, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] 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/
