nested ordered lists?

[=JeffH-4]

Hi,

I'm trying to use Anolis/pimpmyspec.net to produce a w3c Note, and am curious
as to how to have nested ordered lists such that I can have output like so..

1. item one
2. item two
   2.1 item two dot one
3. item three
   3.1  item three dot one
4. item four


...or like so..

1 item one
2. item two
   a. item two.a
3. item three


If it is possible, what might the source .html markup look like?

thanks,

=JeffH

Hi JeffH,

I don't think we have any markup in the default TR CSS for this.

There are a number of tutorials out there to describe the html and css
for this. Here is an example:

Hope that helps,

Thanks for the reply Ian.

where is the "default TR CSS" ?  Is it the same for Notes, WDs, CRs, PRs, Recs?


thanks,

They're all in

http://www.w3.org/StyleSheets/TR/


eg this one for a working draft:

Yes, that's what I was referring to.

Ok, I've poked thru said default TR CSS and no, there isn't any apparent
handling of the counters for nested ordered lists.

Thanks, I did go through that tutorial and played around with adding my own CSS
to my draft Note that numbers nested ordered lists, but ended up having some
funny interactions with how Anolis/PimpMySpec.net renders the ToC (sigh), that
I've tugged Geoffrey Snedders' sleeve about.

thanks again,
