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)
