Re: Hindi Alphabetic Bulleting in CSS3 (Indian Languages)

Sir,
As of now to best of  my knowledge what you said is true for the south 
indian languages also. But Malayalam use arabic numerals more than the 
tradition one. For kannada tradition numerals are widely used by the content 
creators .For tamil I am not sure now but will confirm later.I think the 
content authors now prefer numeric bulleting to alphabetic because they have 
no choice. Once they will get support for both alphabetic and numeric 
bulleting they will use both.
Thanks
Jose
