Richard,

Wondering how we can get CSS to specifity the spearator used in ordered lists (ie: the thing between the list item number and the value of the list item). For example...

1.
    a)
        1 -
            a:

I need this ability to replicate government legislation and apparently it has to be an EXACT duplicate. As far as I can tell, this isn't in the spec. Has anyone found a solution? Some fancy CSS hack or DOM scripting that will get around this?


I know its not remotely answering your question, but there are many who believe that numbering is a very important part of the content of some documents (particularly legislation) and so should be in the content of the HTML, not styled using CSS. This aids web searching, local searching, and may indeed be a requirement for publication of legislation.

Hope that's of some use (oh, and its much less of a fuss than using CSS counters and content which won't work completely anyway)
