Reply to: List numbering strangeness in the editor
May 9, 2011 at 8:29 pmI'm not sure I understand why it would make sense to set list-style-type on a list item. If you have different types of lists then you would do something like this:
list[type=”ordered”] {
display: block;
list-style-type: decimal;
}
list[type=”unordered”] {
display: block;
list-style-type: disc;
}
list-item {
display: list-item;
margin-left: 1cm;
}
The settings you have may give you the correct appearance, but I don't think it is the intended usage (if you read the CSS recommendation this might be more clear — essentially the reason why the “display:list-item” property exists is to use it on list-item-like elements that have a container, and the container is where you set the list-style-type).
