symbols()
CSS function lets you define counter styles inline, directly as the value of a property such as
list-style
. Unlike
@counter-style
,
symbols()
is
anonymous
(i.e., it can only be used once). Although less powerful, it is shorter and easier to write than
@counter-style
.
symbols() = symbols( <symbols-type>? [ <string> | <image> ]+ );
<symbols-type>
can be one of the following:
cyclic
: The system cycles through the given values in the order of their definition, and returns to the start when it reaches the end.
numeric
: The system interprets the given values as the successive units of a place-value numbering system.
alphabetic
: The system interprets the given values as the digits of an alphabetic numbering system, like a place-value numbering system but without
0
.
symbolic
: The system cycles through the values, printing them an additional time at each cycle (one time for the first cycle, two times for the second, etc.).
fixed
: The system cycles through the given values once, then falls back to Arabic numerals.
<ol> <li>One</li> <li>Two</li> <li>Three</li> <li>Four</li> <li>Five</li> </ol>
ol {
list-style: symbols(cyclic "*" "†" "‡");
}
