Line numbers mutilated
I have a copy of The Iliad, translated by Richmond Lattimore. EPUB format. The text is in verse, and there are line numbers every five lines, as is somewhat common in works like this. The trouble is that once the line numbers reach three digits, they get cut off at the left margin. I've uploaded a screen shot. Those numbers are supposed to be 135, 140, 145, etc. Is there any way I can make this work, or is this book just poorly formatted? Thanks.

You can probably tweak the CSS of the book to fix it, but cant say how without seeing the actual book.

I cannot see a way to fix it as the line numbers that do not start at the beginning of a paragraph will need to have lines split. That and large enough text will cause the line numbers to be wrong.

You might try making the line number font-size smaller (~85%)
You may need to wrap them in a span, with appropriate CSS callout |
