Description
The ::marker pseudo-element can use
::marker {
content: counter(my-counter);
}
However, something like counter-increment: my-counter won't work since counter-increment doesn't apply to ::marker. Gotcha, it has to be set in the list item instead.
So I think counter-increment, counter-set and counter-reset should just apply. Counters don't affect layout so there doesn't seem to be any problem.
