I understand the properties of the display types "block" and "inline" (and of course "none"), but am confused about "list-item". I can't seem to influence the indent on lists in either of the mass-market 4.0b browsers. I can't tell whether my faulty understanding of the formatting model is to blame, or whether I've fallen into a browser implementation hole. I want to block-indent lists by the same value as a paragraph indent, like this: This is an indented paragraph. Blabbity blab blab, blabbity blip. Yaddayadda woohoo, shoop- doobie-doop. Yaddayadda woohoo, blabbity blip shoop-doobie-doop. This is an indented paragraph. Blabbity blab blab, blabbity blip. Yaddayadda woohoo, shoop- doobie-doop. a. This is a list item. Note that the text, not the marker, is aligned with the paragraph indent above. b. This is a another list item. Note that the text, not the marker, is aligned with the paragraph indent above. Can CSS produce this sort of layout from standard markup? Any help appreciated. I've read the relevant parts of the spec several times but lose grip quickly without an implementation to fiddle with. ______________________________ mailto:fahrner@pobox.com http://www.verso.com/ "Such machines will have enormous appetites.
