CSS LIST-STYLE
This shorthand property is used when the author wishes to change the default display characteristics of list-markers in HTML list structures. An author can specify location of the marker, a graphic to be used and/or a standard set of symbols. Keywords may come in any order, but using multiple keywords that control the same behavior is not allowed. If a [list-style-image] is specified for the list marker, it will be used in place of any [list-style-type] also specified. Nevertheless, a [list-style-type] should always be specified in the event the [list-style-image] can not be loaded. A value of ‘none’ for the ‘list-style’ property should set both ‘list-style-type’ and ‘list-style-image’ to ‘none.’
Example
| ul { list-style: square inside url(http://www.foo.com/bullet.gif) }
<ul><li style=”list-style: square inside url(http://www.example.com/pic.gif)”>content</li></ul> |
Possible Values
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| inherit | Explicitly sets the value of this property to that of the parent |
| [list-style-type] | See the property page for ‘list-style-type’ for more details on syntax and allowed values |
| [list-style-position] | See the property page for ‘list-style-position’ for more details on syntax and allowed values |
| [list-style-image] | See the property page for ‘list-style-image’ for allowed values |
Hi folks
Just starting to explore CSS3 … but unable to find a workaround for ordered lists that break off and then continue their numbering, eg:
<ol start=”4″>
and
<li value=”9″>
Important for HTML presentation of block quotes of legal documents etc.
Can you help?

Jack,
If you’re still looking for an answer, try the counter-increment and counter-reset properties. A good article can be found at:
