[WSG] Parenthesis around list counters
Greetings all, I am curious if it is currently possible to have a list item display its list counter with parenthesis around it such as this: 1. Item 1 (a). sub item 1 The only way I can think of this is via CSS 3 which is not currently widely supported, especially in our IE6/7 audience. Does IE7/8 support this? Would implementing Deans IE7 help? Any other thoughts on solving this? We are a small county displaying our ordinances and parens are important for legal notations and references.

Regardless of whether a method is found or not, one can not rely on browsers support for HTML/CSS to replicate importance at such a level. Simplest way to test if a method is acceptable or not for a particular case, is to observe the outcome with CSS and script support off - in Lynx for instance. regards Georg -- http://www.gunlaug.no *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***

Either that or simply go down the PDF route and put the important legal information into a separate document. I've found similar issues to this from legal teams who require a perfect translation from a word doc etc, and as Georg says, relying on individual browser support is often not acceptable (especially if regulatory bodies etc try to view them in a non fully compliant browser).
