/* Keyword values */ fallback: lower-alpha; fallback: custom-gangnam-style; 

fallback

The fallback descriptor can be used to specify a counter style to fall back to if the current counter style cannot create a marker representation for a particular counter value.

Syntax

/* Keyword values */ fallback: lower-alpha; fallback: custom-gangnam-style; 

Description

If the specified fallback style is also unable to construct a representation, then its fallback style will be used. If a valid fallback style is not specified, it defaults to decimal.

A couple of scenarios where a fallback style will be used are:

Formal definition
