I hate how it's still not possible to properly style the numbers in ordered lists.
I use them for code snippets with automatic line numbers, but it's literally impossible to space the numbers (relative to the code) while keeping them aligned to the right. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Try ::before and css-counters.
::before has the same problem. You can't align text inside `content:` to the right. Probably because each ::before is handled separately and can't see the sibling's content length.
Ah, I only now opened your example code.
If you wrap the li contents in a div, you can handle them as a unit separately from ::before.
Then subgrid solves the problem of treating nested elements as siblings.
