Re: Proposing new values for list-style-type

Sorry, sent it without examples of where it works.

Here are real Wikipedia in these languages that have this style applied.

Manipuri: https://incubator.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=4589559 (in the
section "ꯎꯁꯦꯏꯒꯤ ꯀꯥꯟꯅꯕꯁꯤꯡ")

N'Ko: https://nqo.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=6178 (towards the end)

Santali: https://sat.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=56112 (in the section
"ᱨᱟᱡᱽᱜᱟᱲ")

Again, all of these will only work in Firefox.

We'd love to not have to use @counter-style, and to do something like the
following:
ol:lang( mni ) {
  list-style-type: meetei;
}
ol:lang( nqo ) {
  list-style-type: nko;
}
ol:lang( sat ) {
  list-style-type: ol-chiki;
}

... Just like we already do
ol:lang( hi ),
ol:lang( mr ),
ol:lang( ne ) {
    list-style-type: devanagari;
}

> 3. Manipuri (Meetei script)

> In the meantime, we made this kind of possible by adding the following CSS:
> @counter-style ol-chiki {
>     system: numeric;
>     symbols: "᱐" "᱑" "᱒" "᱓" "᱔" "᱕" "᱖" "᱗" "᱘" "᱙";
>     suffix: ". ";
> }
>
> ol:lang( sat ) {
>     list-style-type: ol-chiki;
> }
>
> This only works in Firefox because the WebKit family doesn't support
> @counter-style. But on Firefox it appears to do the right thing.
