94396 - CSS1: list-item display mode doesn't work with XML correctly

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect)

Description

[Eric L. Peterson]

Viewing the following XML file should display a bulleted list, as far as I
understand CSS1 so far, but doesn't.

XML file "buglist.xml":

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="buglist.css"?>

<list>
   <item>1st point</item>
   <item>2nd point</item>
   <item>3rd point</item>
</list>

CSS file "buglist.css":

item
		{display:		list-item;
			 list-style-type:	disc;
		 	}

The reason is that the list-style-position property has a default value of
outside. If you add "list-style-position: inside;" to your item style or if you
add "list {margin-left:20px}" to the stylesheet you will see the bullets.
See http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/generate.html#q11 for details.

VERIFIED -- another way of checking that is to add some margins.
