Which numbers exactly? In which site? We need to have a CSS available.

Hello,

You can use the following numbering style:

<strong>Example 1</strong>
<strong>The HTML</strong>
<div>
<ol>
<li><span>1.</span><p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Praesent euismod ultrices ante, ac laoreet nulla vestibulum adipiscing. Nam quis justo in augue auctor imperdiet. Curabitur aliquet orci sit amet est posuere consectetur. Fusce nec leo ut massa viverra venenatis. Nam accumsan libero a elit aliquet quis ullamcorper arcu tincidunt. Praesent purus turpis, consectetur quis congue vel, pulvinar at lorem. Vivamus varius condimentum dolor, quis ultricies ipsum porta quis. </p></li>
<li><span>2.</span><p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Praesent euismod ultrices ante, ac laoreet nulla vestibulum adipiscing. Nam quis justo in augue auctor imperdiet. Curabitur aliquet orci sit amet est posuere consectetur. </p></li>
<li><span>3.</span><p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Praesent euismod ultrices ante, ac laoreet nulla vestibulum adipiscing. Nam quis justo in augue auctor imperdiet. Curabitur aliquet orci sit amet est posuere consectetur. </p></li>
</ol>
</div>


<strong>The CSS</strong>

div {
width: 500px;
margin: 10px
}

ol {
color: #ccc;
list-style-type: none;
}

ol li {
position: relative;
font: bold italic 45px/1.5 Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif;
margin-bottom: 20px;
}

li p {
font: 12px/1.5 Helvetica, sans-serif;
padding-left: 60px;
color: #555;
}

span {
position: absolute;
}


You can see a live demo here: http://codepen.io/secondfret/pen/oexuc

<strong>Example 2</strong>
The HTML:
<ol class="rectangle-list">
<li><a href="">List item</a></li>
<li><a href="">List item</a></li>
<li><a href="">List item</a>
<ol>
<li><a href="">List sub item</a></li>
<li><a href="">List sub item</a></li>

<li><a href="">List sub item</a></li>
</ol>
</li>
<li><a href="">List item</a></li>
<li><a href="">List item</a></li>
</ol>


<strong>The CSS</strong>
.rectangle-list a{
position: relative;
display: block;
padding: .4em .4em .4em .8em;
*padding: .4em;
margin: .5em 0 .5em 2.5em;
background: #ddd;
color: #444;
text-decoration: none;
transition: all .3s ease-out;
}

.rectangle-list a:hover{
background: #eee;
}

.rectangle-list a:before{
content: counter(li);
counter-increment: li;
position: absolute;
left: -2.5em;
top: 50%;
margin-top: -1em;
background: #fa8072;
height: 2em;
width: 2em;
line-height: 2em;
text-align: center;
font-weight: bold;
}

.rectangle-list a:after{
position: absolute;
content: '';
border: .5em solid transparent;
left: -1em;
top: 50%;
margin-top: -.5em;
transition: all .3s ease-out;
}

.rectangle-list a:hover:after{
left: -.5em;
border-left-color: #fa8072;
}

Hi Daniel, thanks for the code.. This is not quite what I was looking to achieve, but still a step in the good direction.
But the first one pushes all my content to the right..
And in the second one the counting stays at 1.
