Poetry: line numbers aligned to the left.
Hello.

Very often poetry printed books have numbered lines, normally every fifth line has its number, aligned to the left of the page. The lines of course all start flush, with a big indent (see attachment, and btw I'm sorry the first thing I found was possibly Italy's most overrated poem )

How can I do this w/ epubs? Perhaps with a <span></span> around each number, which then I'd float to the left, or to which I'd give a negative indent?

Thanks
