Is / a counter suffix? #98

Closed r12a closed 7 years ago

r12a commented 7 years ago

3.7.2 Ordered List Item Marker http://w3c.github.io/elreq/#list_item_marker

the following section has an example that uses / as a counter suffix. Is this another alternative? It's not listed in this section.

Good catch! This is fixed now in commit c897ccb3660da5a28954ac2319b6ef3c6986c6c2 .

A follow up question: Is "Counter Suffix" a more conventional name to use than "List Item Marker"? I had learned "list item marker" in the early 2000s, I think it was the name Mozilla developers were using at the time.

It is called a counter style suffix in the CSS Counter Styles spec, so maybe we should use it for that reason. The CSS spec describes the suffix as "a that is appended to the marker representation", thereby making a distinction between the marker and the suffix.
