Generated content was first introduced in the CSS2 specification. For several years, the feature was used by relatively few Web authors due to inconsistent browser support. With the release of Internet Explorer 8 in 2009, generated content was rediscovered, and many interesting implementations were adopted for the first time. In this article, Gabriele Romanato will discuss some possible uses of generated content.

In technical terms, generated content is a simple abstraction created by CSS in the document tree. As such, in practical terms, generated content exists only in the layout of the Web document.
