Why?
Currently users need to know that the page number is sitting in something called %p4 and need to know the correct macro in order to read out the page number.
So people have to know that they have to use a construct like:
content: -xpp-perl(macro, 'ri', '%p4');
Implementation
have a reserved counter name that is connected to %p4
This will allow to be used in a 'content' property as:
content: counter(pagenumber);
Goal
- create a system that is more CSS aware
- make it easier on novice users
