suffix

Summary

The suffix is used with @counter-style to specify a symbol that will be appended to the marker representation. A symbol can be a string, image or a CSS identifier. If not specified, the descriptor assumes the default value "\2E\20" ("." full stop followed by a space).

Related at-rule	`@counter-style`
Initial value	"." full stop followed by a space
Media	all
Computed value	as specified
Canonical order	the unique non-ambiguous order defined by the formal grammar
