CSS Counter Styles 3 Last Call Working Draft Published

The CSS WG has published a Last Call Working Draft of CSS Counter Styles Level 3:

http://www.w3.org/TR/css-counter-styles-3/

This specification better defines the existing ‘list-style-type’ values that were introduced in CSS 2 and 2.1, and defines a few new styles for certain complex numbering systems that were not well served previously.

Additionally, it defines the @counter-style rule, which allows authors to define their own counter styles for use in ‘list-style-type’ and the “counter()” and “counters()” functions. The I18N Working Group is now maintaining a list of example counter styles for many of the world’s numbering systems at http://www.w3.org/International/docs/counter-styles/.

The CSSWG would appreciate feedback on this module, particularly on the aspects changed since the previous working draft:

• technical feedback on any mistakes in the algorithms in the specs, or the predefined counter styles
• feedback on the new ‘pad’ and ‘speak-as’ descriptors

Significant changes are listed at:
