This property specifies the distance between the nearest border edges [p. 82]
of a marker box and its associated principal box [p. 97] . The offset may either be
a user-specified () or chosen by the UA (’auto’). Lengths may be negative,
but there may be implementation-specific limits.

after each numbered list item. This HTML program and style sheet:
Marker example 5

marker-offset: 3em;
content: counter(mycounter, lower-roman) ".";
