Right-Handed Bullets

In the endless process of refining the aesthetics of the site, I would like to have the list items in the sidebar have their bullets on the right-hand side of the item text rather than the default left.

A quick google reveals the direction CSS property which almost does the necessary. Given a simple list like this:

  • A
  • B
  • C
  • A
  • B
  • C setting the direction property to rtl - ie right-to-left - generates this:
  • A
  • B
  • C
  • A
  • B
  • C

On the face of it, this is ideal. But if you have a punctuation character in there, such as the post counts against the catergory links, you hit a problem:

  • A(1)
  • B+
  • C?
  • A(1)
  • B+
  • C?

This is a direct result of how right-to-left text works in CSS. There are a couple of possible work-arounds:

For now I will live with the left-hand bullets - any other suggestions for moving the bullet over are welcome.
