Really? Why a hanging indent? (Particularly since the way the numbers currently appear they do sort of produce a hanging indent type visual effect.)

Also, you don't think the numbers would be almost unreadable at lower font sizes if they are in superscript?

I'll try your suggestion of removing the numbers and/or superscripting them, though this translation generally uses them as prominently as they appear in the ePub.

Can you take a look at one of the PDFs ( www.PaxLibrorum.com/ebooks/ ) and tell me if you find the numbers off-putting there too? If not, then perhaps there is some subtle formatting (short of subscripting or wholesale removal) that could make them more tolerable in the ePub too.

Thank you for taking the time, Nate! (Not to mention thank you for taking the somewhat ornary bait that lured you here.)
