In the source files, take a look in
netsurf.content.handlers.html.box_construct.c around line 400. (This is
for the 3.10 source; I haven't looked to see if it's moved in the current
version.) You'll see that cases CSS_LIST_STYLE_TYPE_DECIMAL,
CSS_LIST_STYLE_TYPE_LOWER_ALPHA, CSS_LIST_STYLE_TYPE_LOWER_ROMAN,
CSS_LIST_STYLE_TYPE_UPPER_ALPHA, CSS_LIST_STYLE_TYPE_UPPER_ROMAN and
default all use the same block of code. The marker itself is generated
in the last few lines of the block.
It ought to be not too difficult to generate code to handle the alpha
and Roman-numbered cases.
