<title>CSS Test: Marker box position (inside principal box) - floated :before pseudo-element list-item ('list-style-position:outside')</title>
<meta name="assert" content="When the :before element is set as a list-item, it establishes a principal box and a marker box which is positioned outside of that principal box (since 'list-style-position:outside). Since this :before pseudo element is floated left, the principal box (and marker box, since 'list-style-position:inside') of the associated element must appear alongside (after) this :before pseudo element. The position of the marker box of the :before pseudo element must still appear to the outside left edge of it's associated element's principal box (since 'list-style-position:outside')."/>

<p>To pass, there <strong>must</strong> a yellow bullet (filled-in circle) to the left outside edge of a grey box. Inside the grey box, there <strong>must</strong> be a yellow letter to the left of a blue bullet, and a blue letter to the right of the blue bullet.</p>
