I'm trying to replicate the following table of contents:
I've gotten pretty close with the following code: http://jsfiddle.net/33Kgn/2/
.list li { position:relative; overflow:hidden; width:330px; } .list li:after { font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 120%; content:"................."; text-indent: -1px; display:block; letter-spacing:34px; position:absolute; left:0px; bottom:0px; z-index:-1; font-weight:bold; } .list li span { display:inline-block; background-color:#FFF; padding-right:5px; } .list li .number { float:right; font-weight:bold; padding-left:5px; } <div style="margin:25px 22px 200px 22px;"> <div style="text-align:center;font-size:150%;letter-spacing:.1em;margin-bottom:10px;margin-right:-.1em;">CONTENTS</div> <ul class="list" style="padding-left:180px;"> <li style="margin:0 0 .6em 0;"><span>EDITOR’S INTRODUCTION</span><span class="number">ix</span></li> <li style="margin:0 0 .5em 0;"><span style="padding-left:.6em;">1. Historical</span><span class="number">ix</span></li> <li style="margin:0 0 .5em 0;"><span style="padding-left:.6em;">2. Epistemology</span><span class="number">xii</span></li> <li style="margin:0 0 .5em 0;"><span style="padding-left:.6em;">3. Epistemology of Morals</span><span class="number">xx</span></li> <li style="margin:0 0 .5em 0;"><span style="padding-left:.6em;">4. Psychology of Morals</span><span class="number">xxvi</span></li> <li style="margin:0 0 .5em 0;"><span style="padding-left:.6em;">5. The Moral System</span><span class="number">xxx</span></li> <li style="margin:0 0 1.5em 0;"><span style="padding-left:.6em;">6. Morals and Theology</span><span class="number">xliii</span></li> <li style="margin:0 0 .5em 0;"><span>A REVIEW OF THE PRINCIPAL QUESTIONS IN MORALS</span><span class="number">1</span></li> <li style="margin:0 0 .5em 0;"><span>INDEX</span><span class="number">297</span></li> </div> </div> But as you can see if you follow the link, the "A REVIEW..." and "INDEX" part doesn't work. Any help would be appreciated.
EDITED TO ADD: The difficulty here lies in the indentation and line-wrapping of "A REVIEW OF THE PRINCIPAL QUESTIONS IN MORALS". So this question does not yet have an answer.
