 	<p>The previous chapter specified a way to define custom counter styles.  However, counter styles are sometimes used only once in a stylesheet, and defining a full ''@counter-style'' rule can be overkill for this case (not to mention the possibility of unintentional name collisions).  To address this case, the ''symbols()'' function provides a simple way to define an anonymous counter style as an inline value.  It does not provide the full feature-set of the ''@counter-style'' rule, but provides a sufficient subset to still be useful.  The syntax of the ''symbols()'' rule is:</p>
 
-	<pre><dfn id='type-symbols-function'>&lt;symbols-function></dfn> = symbols( &lt;symbols> [as &lt;type>]? )</pre>
+	<pre><dfn id='type-symbols-function'>&lt;symbols-function></dfn> = symbols( &lt;type>? [ &lt;string> | &lt;image> ]+ )</pre>
 
-	<p>Where &lt;symbols> is a valid value for the 'symbols' descriptor in a ''@counter-style'' rule, and &lt;type> is one of the following keywords: ''repeating'', ''numeric'', ''alphabetic'', ''symbolic'', or ''non-repeating''.</p>
+	<p>Where &lt;type> is one of the following keywords: ''repeating'', ''numeric'', ''alphabetic'', ''symbolic'', or ''non-repeating''.</p>
 
 	<p>The ''symbols()'' function defines an anonymous counter style with no <i title="counter-name">name</i>, a <i title="counter-prefix">prefix</i> and <i title="counter-suffix">suffix</i> of ''""'' (the empty string), a <i title="counter-lower-bound">lower bound</i> of negative infinity, an <i title="counter-upper-bound">upper bound</i> of infinity, an <i title="counter-fallback">fallback style</i> of ''decimal'', and a <i title="counter-negative">negative sign</i> of "\2D" ("-" hyphen-minus).  The counter style's <i title="counter-algorithm">algorithm</i> is constructed by consulting the previous chapter using the provided type - or ''symbolic'' if the type was omitted - and the provided &lt;symbols> as the value of the 'symbols' property.</p>
