Customisable counters are needed for many languages.

There is no way for users to create local counter styles that are not built in to the browser, and users also often want to tweak the counter style in some way (esp. the prefix/suffix).

The lower-greek counter style is defined in the CSS Counter Styles Level 3 specification, however this style is relevant for mathematical texts. The greek-lower-modern style described in Ready-made Counter Styles is more commonly used for normal text in Greece.

The following is Greek-specific additional information.

CSS2.1 included the lower-greek keyword, and all major browsers support the lower-greek counter style but none support the greek-lower-modern style.

The CSS Counter Styles spec allows users to create their own counter styles, but the feature is only implemented by Firefox at the moment.

Effectively, this means that there isn't a good greek counter style feature available for authors.

Tests & results:

  1. Simple alphabetic
  2. Greek script

FIXED !

This gap is now fixed. For more details, see this GitHub issue, which is being used to track this gap. Please add any discussion there, and not to this issue.

Changing the priority on this, since there isn't a good greek counter style feature available for authors.
