@list: What's it for?

Hi,

may be a stupid question, but honestly: What is "@list" for?

The CSS code produced by Internet Explorer's "Export to HTML" is just
full of it, however, I can't find any information about it.
Google won't help (unless someone can tell me how to make him _not_ ignore
the @ in a search for "@list"), and I was not able to find information
in any of the CSS tutorials I know. That's mainly because I haven't got
any idea where to look ...

To give a short example, here's a line of IE's HTML code:

@list l1
{}
@list l1:level1
{margin-left:18.0pt;
text-indent:-18.0pt;
font-family:"Times New Roman";
}

Where can I find information about the effect of this?

Thanks for your help

Michael

How are you generating this? I don't see this 'feature' in IE6 - where
is it?

I think using quote marks will ensure that the @ sign is included in
the search. But then, I don't know why it would have been excluded in
the first place.

Nope. Nothing I tried would make google search for '@'. "+@" actually
returns nothing - not even "you're search did not match". I wonder why?

http://www.google.com/search?q=list%20+@

Now, there may not be anything useful for the op, but I did get
something. In fact, it looks like the same results as searching for
"list" by itself. I think this search is likely to turn up documents
with "list" and any email addresses.

I've simply used the "Save as Website"-feature on a (rather longish)
document. IE generates quite a long list of this @list-statements.
Actually it has 68 entries: from "@list l1" to "@list l68".
It seems like it generates a global CSS-layout for every single list
in the document ...

It's generally difficult to make Google look for any kind of punctuation,
symbols, etc.
Concerning the @-sign, it might even be a good idea in order to hold off
spammers from grabbing Email-addresses.

Sorry, I still can't see this happening. Are you sure you're talking
about IE? By using the term "document", it almost sounds like you're
trying to save a website from a Word document or something. I tried
saving and exporting (both) several websites in IE, and in all cases it
saves them as they were originally coded - no @lists in sight. Sorry.

Oh shit ... of course, it has to be
"Word generates quite a long list of this @list-statements."
It's of course Word's "Save as HTML"-feature I'm talking about.
Sorry for the mess-up!

You're right, of course.
Don't know why I've been talking about IE all the time, but it's actually
hard to notice that error once you made it :-(

This is not standard (x)html, it's proprietary MS code, which just
bloats your code and is hopefully just ignored by standard browsers. To
remove such bloat, there are numerous "cleaner" programs out there,
including the one from MS itself:
