Man, I need to stop writing raw HTML in vi, y'know?

Looking for a way to do a list like:

1  First major item  1.1  First sub item  1.2  Second sub item2  Second major item  2.1  First sub item  2.2  Second sub item

I thought the following snippet (from Sec 12.5.1 of here) would do it, but the numbers are simply not there in Safari:

<style type="text/css" media="screen">/* <![CDATA[ */	OL { counter-reset: item }	LI { display: block }	LI:before { content: counters(item, "."); counter-increment: item }/* ]]> */</style>....<ol>  <li> First major item  <ol>    <li> First sub item    <li> Second sub item  </ol>  <li> Second major item  <ol>    <li> First sub item    <li> Second sub item  </ol></ol>

Me no CSS monkey.

Edit: Changing display: block to display: marker enables visibility of numerals... but they're just the standard numbering, no nesting. Does Safari not support counters()?

If I'm not mistaken, the implementation of counter (and related properties) is very limited in most engines, except for Opera. The reason, IIRC, is that the implementation will be largely different in CSS3.

Well crap. Never trust a browser to do LaTeX's job.

Edit: Yup, after some digging, it appears that counter() and counters() simply don't do jack. I can set the content: property just fine, but just not to anything using a counter. Anyone know how to get a good errors message out of Safari when it runs across something it doesn't like? DOM/Render/View trees don't really do it.
