Content markup would be cleaner if there were a 'marker-color' property that determines the color of disc | circle | square | decimal | lower-roman | upper-roman | lower-alpha | upper-alpha. Of course, if we have marker color, then we should surely have 'marker-font-family', 'marker-font-weight', 'marker-font-size', 'marker-font-style', 'marker-font-variant', and 'marker-text-decoration' (we shouldn't have to use an animated gif to get blinking bullets!). ------------------------- 'marker-color' Value: <color> Initial: Same as list-item color Applies to: elements with 'display' value 'list-item' Inherited: yes Percentage values: N/A This property is used to determine the color of the list-item marker if 'list-style-image' is 'none' or if the image pointed to by the URL cannot be displayed. OL { marker-color: red } /* red alphanumeric markers */ UL { marker-color: rgb(0,0,255 } /* blue graphical markers */ with similar declarations for other properties.
