    • Google released an AI “skill” at Google I/O last month called Modern Web Guidance.

A simple and reliable way to use CSS counters Have you ever discovered a tiny piece of code hiding in plain site that made your life a little bit easier?

  • Why it's relevant: matches terms: web; fits Developers category

    • One web browser default I’m seldom satisfied with is the appearance of list markers.
    • Their style can be customized with CSS using li::marker , but the options there are limited.
    • The best way I’ve found to fully customize them is to remove default list styles and use a li::before pseudo-element as a list marker: ol, ul { list-style: none; } li::before { content: "•"; } I’ve used a plain old bullet in this example, but content ’s value can be whatever you want, and you can also use position , background , and other properties to customize the list marker to your heart’s content.
