Self Numbering HTML Headings HOME

CSS can automatically add paragraph numbers to the <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> heading elements!

Here is the CSS code which automatically numbers all headings in this example:
<style>
   body{counter-reset:h1counter}
   h1{counter-reset:h2counter h3counter h4counter}
   h2{counter-reset:h3counter h4counter}
   h3{counter-reset:h4counter}
   h1:before{content:"\02768"counter(h1counter)"\02769\0000a0";counter-increment:h1counter;}
   h2:before{content:"\02768"counter(h1counter)"."counter(h2counter)"\02769\0000a0";counter-increment:h2counter}
   h3:before{content:"\02768"counter(h1counter)"."counter(h2counter)"."counter(h3counter)"\02769\0000a0";counter-increment:h3counter}
   h4:before{content:"\02768"counter(h1counter)"."counter(h2counter)"."counter(h3counter)"."counter(h4counter)"\02769\0000a0";counter-increment:h4counter}
   h0{margin-block-start:0.67em;margin-block-end:0;font-size:2.00em;font-weight:bold;display:inline-block;vertical-align:middle}
   h1{margin-block-start:0.67em;margin-block-end:0;line-height:1;font-size:2.00em;font-weight:bold;display:inline-block;vertical-align:baseline}
   h2{margin-block-start:0.83em;margin-block-end:0;line-height:1;font-size:1.50em;font-weight:bold;display:inline-block;vertical-align:baseline}
   h3{margin-block-start:1.00em;margin-block-end:0;line-height:1;font-size:1.17em;font-weight:bold;display:inline-block;vertical-align:baseline}
   h4{margin-block-start:1.33em;margin-block-end:0;line-height:1;font-size:1.00em;font-weight:bold;display:inline-block;vertical-align:baseline}
</style>
Bonus! If you skip a heading level then it will correctly insert 0 as a place holder.
