Multi-level numbered lists without trailing dot on sub-levels?

[Robert Prins]

ol.ml {
list-style-type:none;
counter-reset:list;
}
ol.ml li:before {
counter-increment:list;
content: counters(list, ".") ". ";
}

By using the above, I can create lists with

1.
1.1.
1.2.
1.2.1.
2.
2.1.
2.1.1.
2.1.2.

etc numbering, which is what I (almost) need. However, is there a way of
removing the final '.' on the *lower* levels, so that the above would come out as

1.
1.1
1.2
1.2.1
2.
2.1
2.1.1
2.1.2

which is waht I really "need"?

Thanks,

Robert

The selector to access a lower-level list is ol.ml ol.ml li { ... }.

This specifies <ol class="ml>, within it another <ol class="ml">, and
within that an <li>.

Think of the space between tags and classes as meaning "containing".
Since it is more specfic, it will override any conflicting properties
in your "om.ml li:before" selector.
