Abstract</h2>
<p>CSS is a language for describing the rendering of structured documents
(such as HTML and XML) on screen, on paper, in speech, etc.
This draft contains the features of CSS level 3 relating to
list styling. It includes and extends the functionality of
CSS level 2 [[!CSS21]], which builds on CSS level 1
[[CSS1]]. The main extensions compared to level 2 are

<h2>
Introduction</h2>
<p>The list model in this module differs in some important ways from the list model in CSS2,
specifically in its handling of markers. Implementation experience suggested the CSS2 model
overloaded the ::before and ::after pseudo-elements with too much behavior, while at the same time
introducing new properties when existing properties were sufficient.</p>
<p>Most block-level elements in CSS generate one principal block box. In this module, we discuss two
CSS mechanisms that cause an element to have an associated marker: one method associates one
principal block box (for the element's content) with a separate marker box (for decoration such as a
bullet, image, or number), and the other inserts a marker box into the principal box. Unlike :before
and :after content, the marker box cannot affect the position of the principal box, whatever the
positioning scheme.</p>
<div class="html-example">
<p>For instance, the following example illustrates how markers may be used to add parentheses around
each numbered list item. This HTML application and style sheet:</p>
<pre>
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Creating a list with markers</title>
<style>
li::marker { content: "(" counter(list-item, lower-roman) ")"; }
li { display: list-item; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<ol>
<li>This is the first item.</li>
<li>This is the second item.</li>
<li>This is the third item.</li>
</ol>
</body>
</html>
</pre>
<p>should produce something like this: </p>
<pre>
(i) This is the first item.
(ii) This is the second item.
(iii) This is the third item.
</pre>
</div>
<p>With descendant selectors and child selectors, it's possible to specify different marker types
depending on the depth of embedded lists.</p>
<p class="issue">A future release of this module will probably include ways to render tree
lists.</p>
<!-- ====================================================================== -->
<h2>
Declaring a List Item</h2>
<p>To declare a list item, the 'display'
property should be set to ''list-item''. This, in addition to generating
a ''::marker'' pseudo-element and enabling the
properties described below for that element, causes that element to
increment the list item counter ''list-item''.
(This does not affect the specified or computed values of the counter
properties.)</p>
<p>The ''list-item'' counter is a real counter,
and can be directly affected using the 'counter-increment' and ''counter-reset''
properties. It can also be used in the ''counter()'' and ''counters()'' functions.</p>
<p class="issue">The CSS3 box module may define other 'display' values which generate a list
marker. These should also affect the ''list-item'' counter.</p>
<p>Note that this new model makes the ''marker''
display type redundant. That display type is therefore obsolete in the
CSS3 Lists model.</p>

<!-- ====================================================================== -->
<h2 id='predefined-counters'>
Predefined Counter Styles</h2>
<p>While authors may define their own counter styles using the ''@counter-style''
rule defined in this spec, there are many counter styles that CSS already defined
in previous levels, and many more that can be usefully predefined. Appendix A
contains a required UA stylesheet which defines a large number of counter styles
using the ''@counter-style'' rule. A few styles require special handling beyond
what can be expressed in a stylesheet, though. Those counter styles are described
in this section.
<h3 id='decimal-counters'>
The ''decimal'' counter style</h3>
<p>The ''decimal'' counter style is the default fallback counter style for the
''@counter-style'' rule, and is also used in extraordinary situations like fallback
loop. As such, it has to be well-defined at all times, so that a counter can
always be formatted regardless of the validity of the defined counter styles.</p>
<p>UAs must not allow the definition of the ''decimal'' counter style given in
Appendix A to be overridden.</p>
<h3 id='glyph-counters'>
Glyphs</h3>
<p>CSS 2.1 defined three single-glyph counter styles (''circle'', ''disc'', and
''square''), but didn't define precisely how to render them, instead opting to
describe generally how they should look and leaving it up to the UA to decide how
to render the markers.</p>
<p>Appendix A gives normative definitions for these styles, but UAs may instead
default to rendering these styles using a browser-generated image matching the
description below. If the styles are overridden, the new style must be honored;
this relaxation of the rendering requirements applies only to the default value
of each counter style.</p>
<p>If the UA chooses to use an image for the default rendering of these counter
styles, the image must be scalable and designed to attractively fill a box 1em
wide and 1em tall.</p>
<dl>
<dt>circle</dt>
<dd>A hollow circle, similar to ◦ U+25E6 WHITE BULLET.</dd>
<dt>disc</dt>
<dd>A filled circle, similar to • U+2022 BULLET.</dd>
<dt>square</dt>
<dd>A filled square, similar to ■ U+25A0 BLACK SQUARE.</dd>
E15
</dl>
<h3 id='complex-counters'>
Complex counter styles</h3>
<p>Some real-life counter styles are unfortunately too complex to be accurately
described using the ''@counter-style'' rule. The following styles must be supported
as default counter styles as if they were defined by theoretical
''@counter-style'' rules placed at the end of the UA stylesheet defined in Appendix
A, using the given name as the counter style name and the given algorithm to format
counter values. They must be overrideable like any other predefined counter style.</p>
<h4 id='hebrew'>
The 'hebrew' counter style</h4>
<p>This is a simple additive system defined for the range 1 to 999999.
The digits are split into two groups of three. Within each group,
appropriate digits are picked from the following list (at most one per
column) and written in descending order by value (hundreds first). If
there is more than one group, the first group is followed by U+05F3 HEBREW
PUNCTUATION GERESH.</p>

<p>If the last two digits of a group (when represented in decimal) are 15
or 16, they should be expressed not as יה U+05D9 U+05D4
(10+5) and יו U+05D9 U+05D5 (10+6), but as
טו U+05D8 U+05D5 (9+6) and טז U+05D8 U+05D6
(9+7). This is done to avoid a close resemblance to the Tetragrammaton
(four-letter name of God) יהוה U+05D9 U+05D4
U+05D5 U+05D4. Although this convention is originally derived from
religious practice, it is universally used even in completely secular
contexts.</p>
<p>The numerical value of each letter is fixed and not determined by
position, so reordering a number group will not change its value. This
may be done when a number spells out a word with negative connotations.
For instance, 298, רצח U+05E8 U+05E6 U+05D7
(200+90+8), is the Hebrew for "murder", so it is sometimes written as
רחצ U+05E8 U+05D7 U+05E6 (200+8+90). Words are
sometimes similarly rearranged when a reordered form has especially
positive connotations, for example 18, יח U+05D9 U+05D7
(10+8) is often written as חי U+05D7 U+05D9 (8+10), the
Hebrew for "alive". Unlike the exception for 15 and 16, using the
regular form in these cases is not considered an error.</p>
<p>The suffix for the hebrew numbering system is a dot (. U+002E
FULL STOP).</p>
<p>Numbers outside the range of the Hebrew system are rendered using the
''decimal'' counter style.</p>

<p>This table shows the decimal number in the first cell, and the

The 'ethiopic-numeric' counter style</h4>
<p>The Ethiopian numbering system is defined for all positive non-zero numbers.
The following algorithm converts decimal digits to ethiopic numbers.</p>
<ol>
<li>Split the number into groups of two digits, starting with the least
significant decimal digit.</li>
<li>Index each group sequentially, starting from the least significant
as group number zero.</li>
<li>If the group has an odd index (as given in the previous step) and

are constructed using the same algorithm, but different sets of characters
(given below). The following algorithm converts decimal digits into Chinese
numbers:</p>
<ol>
<li>If the counter value is 0, the representation is simply the character
for 0 from the counter style's table, below. End this algorithm.</li>
<li>If the counter value is negative, set the <var>negative flag</var>
and run the rest of this algorithm with the absolute value of the counter
value.</li>
<li>Split the decimal number into groups of four digits, starting with
the least significant digit.</li>
<li>Ignoring groups that have the value 0, append the second group marker
to the second group, the third group marker to the third group, and the
fourth group marker to the fourth group. The first group has no marker.</li>
<li>For each group, ignoring digits that have the value 0, append the
second digit marker to the second digit, the third digit marker to the
third digit, and the fourth digit marker to the fourth digit. The first
digit has no marker.</li>
<li>For each group, drop any trailing 0s. As well, drop any leading 0s
for the largest group.</li>
<li>Concatenate the groups back into a single string, least significant
group first (on the right).</li>
<li>Collapse any runs of consecutive 0s into a single 0.
<span class=note>This can cross the previous group boundaries.</span></li>
