The CSS Working Group just discussed `the 'content' property should apply to ::marker`, and agreed to the following:

* `RESOLVED: the 'content' property should apply to ::marker`

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;dael> Topic:  the 'content' property should apply to ::marker<br>
&lt;dael> github: https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/3499<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: Moz has impl of this. TabAtkins and I cleaned up lists spec so what it needs to do with content interaction should be well defined. Proposal is to add the conten property back into pseudo elements applying to ::marker<br>
&lt;dael> AmeliaBR: Content still set auto based on list prop?<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: Yes. Initial value is normal and thattakes content from list style prop<br>
&lt;dael> AmeliaBR: So an author wouldn't have ot set content prop for marker to be rendered but could override it if want to do something special<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: Yes<br>
&lt;dael> AmeliaBR: Makes sense to me<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: Any objections?<br>
&lt;dael> plinss: Objections?<br>
&lt;dael> gregwhitworth: Curious about use case. If they're in disc mode they'd replace with a new disc type?<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: background and display don't apply to markers. Case is I have an &lt;ol> and I might want to change to include the chapter number or I might decide I want outside list marker styling and turn my headers into list items. You could do those kind of things<br>
&lt;dael> gregwhitworth: How different then increment stuff?<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: You can say I want to use this piece of text. May or may not include a counter. More flexibility in terms of what you want in terms of things like punct<br>
&lt;dael> AmeliaBR: Lots of use cases &lt;ol> 20-1 but 3 2 1 are bronze/silver/gold<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: multipart listing is one of the biggest use cases. We should put an example in spec<br>
&lt;dael> plinss: Objections?<br>
&lt;dael> RESOLVED: the 'content' property should apply to ::marker<br>
