Hello, The CSS2 Recommendation specifies a system of counters and markers that may be used to create lists (see the 'content' property). Markers and counters are meant to replace the HTML 4.0 attributes you mention above. Since we will have to wait for CSS2 browsers to make their appearance before benefitting from the more general and powerful markers and counters, you should continue to use the HTML 4.0 attributes. Thank you for showing concern, - Ian [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/ -- Ian Jacobs (jacobs@w3.org) http://www.w3.org/People/Jacobs
