Use CSS counters for the Ordered list content prefix

Hi,

I see you currently use "1." everytime, you can solve this more eleagant using:

Yeah, I'm ambivalent on this one. I sort of like how it's all ones, since that's valid markdown, but it's definitely more readable with the counter. I mentioned my decision to not use counters in my blog post, but maybe I'll change it—or offer a secondary class to choose one or the other.

Np, it’s not an unreasonable request. I'll let you know if I decide to change it.

Hi. On ReMarkdown I actually used CSS 2.1 counters because I wanted to see actual numbers rather than “1”s everywhere. When I write using Markdown, I tend to use readable numbers so that if someone reads the Markdown text, it feels more natural. So using counters made sense for me.

Of course the solution you picked is valid as well. It’s a matter of taste. :)

Yeah, I even do it my markdown beautifier script: https://github.com/mrcoles/readmd but for some reason I liked not doing it here.

I'm wondering if I should support two modes, one that's more readable (and includes counters) and one that's more nerdy (and doesn't use counters and applies some of the more aggressive img hacks)

I merged a pull request for this and then added optional support to show just ones e56bd92
