I got it to work with list-style-type decimal, but not alpha.
Any way to make it start on a particular letter?
The idea at
http://timmychristensen.com/css-ordered-list-numbering-examples.html
is that you don't use list-style-type (but set it to none and generate
your own numbering). So I think you mean to ask how to create an effect
that corresponds to list-style-type: lower-alpha or list-style-type:
upper-alpha (mere alpha won't do anyway).
The answer is that you pass the desired keyword as the second argument
to counter(), e.g. changing
content: counter(chapter) ". ";
to
content: counter(chapter, lower-alpha) ". ";
You need to set the start value (in the value for the counter-reset
property) as a number, using the ordinal number of the desired letter in
the alphabet minus one. E.g., to start at "c", you would set
counter-reset: chapter 2;
