Right-aligning numbers in a multilevel list

Is there any way to set alignment for the numbering in a multilevel numbered list? I've checked the options in the RoboHelp Edit Styles dialog, and haven't found anything to help. I have a custom-defined multilevel list in my CSS, but don't know enough CSS syntax to set the alignment. Any help is appreciated!

(I'm using RoboHelp 9 and generating WebHelp output)

I'll say it cannot be done just to prod Willam into explaining how it can be done!

Haha, you got my attention, but there's not much I can tell about it.

The problem is that the multilevel lists are coded in RH to have the numbers right aligned. Since they're not really HTML lists, there's no css you can use to control this. The only way you can right align lists, is to go into your output and place white space in front of the list numbering.

Thanks Peter!

William, thank you too for taking the time to look at this query! Adding the white space manually worked for me (for now) though it's not a particularly elegant, or quick solution I will file a new feature request for right-aligning numbering in lists, and maybe it will appear in some version of RH down the road!
