property value of 'marker'
Inherit From Parent:
No
Applicable Media:

HTML Equivalent:
NA
What is it?
In :before or :after pseudo-elements, the 'display' property
can be set to "marker" to allow content to be paired with other
content (usually iteratively, such as with the 'list-style-type'
property behavior. An element's content creates a "principal"
rendering box. The "marker" for the "principal" box should be
formatted in a single-line outside the "principal" box. The "marker"
box should allow the border and padding properties, but not margins.
The 'marker-offset' property gives a horizontal distance between
the marker box and the "principal" rendering box, measured between
the adjacent neighboring edges of the two boxes.

Notes
CSS2 says that the Marker box should only be rendered if the 'content'
property for the 'before:' or 'after:' pseudo-element actually generates content.
