Two-digit index of ordered list is hidden when export to PDF

Hi @SignorMercurio,

Great catch, thanks for sharing. If you look closely in the editor, you can see that all the tens digit exceeds the list container in the Typora editor, as illustrated below (using the inspector):

I believe this is the reason that it is cut off from the PDF export (though I do not know its inner workings).

Unfortunately, I cannot do anything about this: the list counters exceeding the list container is expected behaviour, which you can replicate by making long lists in the Tailwind workspace. And also note that it happens in other themes as well, though most of the time you have to go further than 10 items: try making a 1000 item list in the GitHub theme, you'll find the same issue in the PDF export!

Since it is a Typora issue, you could try submitting an issue here: https://github.com/typora/typora-issues. And for a work-around, increasing the padding-left seems an excellent idea to me. If you want to make sure you're not targeting nested lists, you can use this selector in your custom CSS:

#write > ol {
   padding-left: 2em;
}

Thanks for the detailed reply, very helpful to me!

@SignorMercurio just thought of another solution that might be interesting for you. You can also use list-style-position to solve your problem:

ol {
  list-style-position: inside;
}

See also the MDN docs. You can use this in combination with padding-left: 0 to properly align the items to the left.

I think it has other layout drawbacks which I don't really like, but it at least guarantees that everything will be contained in the list container!
