XHTML Tutorial - Ordered List Item Markers
(Continued from previous topic...)
How To Use Different Markers on Ordered List Items?
By default, browsers will use decimal numbers as the item markers for ordered lists.
If you want to change them to something else, like alphabetical letters, you need to
use CSS properties. Here is a tutorial sample showing you how to set item markers to
be lower case alphabetical letters:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>List Item Markers</title>
</head>
<body>
