Making an ol with 5 levels (outline format)

[tryin_to_learn]

I'm trying to create an outline using nested ols and I need 5 levels. So far, I've got:

I. Level 1

A. Level 2

i. Level 3

a. Level 4

All of that works fine but for the 5th level, what I'd like to have is:

(i) Level 5

I tried using :before and :after to add the parentheses but all I could get was something that looks like this:

i. ) Level 5

In other words, I didn't know how to get the opening parenthesis and I also wasn't successful at removing the space between the li. and the ). Also, my preference is to not have the period after the li but I can live with the period if I have to.

Is this possible? I don't have to use :before and :after - that's just the only thing I knew to try.

Your on the right track with :before

Have a look here -

• 12.4 Automatic counters and numbering
  
  • 12.4.1 Nested counters and scope
  • 12.4.2 Counter styles
  • 12.4.3 Counters in elements with 'display: none'

Amazing! This is opening up a whole new world. I'll have to study this for awhile. Thanks!
