 * Hi, great plugin!
    I need to insert a chart of the “most read” books in my website;
   I am actually doing so at the moment posting 10 books in a page via their shortcode.
   It would be wonderful if I can be able to add a position number as a :before 
   content just before the title, and not as an external number as I am actually
   doing now.
 * I do not need it to increment dynamically, it’s just 10 numbers and I can do 
   it manually.
    Is there a simple way to do this? thanks!

 * Hi Grendelica,
 * I’m a little confused as to what exactly you are asking for. If you’re looking
   for the CSS selector to add a :before content to the book title, you would probably
   want something like “#post-123 .mbt-book-title:before” where “123” was the post
   ID of the book.
 * If that’s not what you’re looking for, please give me a few more details about
   what exactly you want.

 * Hi, thanks for the answer. That’s what I meant. That should work, but the chart
   will change about every week so it’ll be quite difficult to change the ids everytime.
   
   I’ve used an ordered list for now, even if it places the number outside and not
   near the book title it looks ok. [http://www.radiolibri.it/la-classifica-di-radiolibri/](http://www.radiolibri.it/la-classifica-di-radiolibri/)

 * Hi Grendelica,
 * The way you are currently doing it with the ordered list is probably the easiest
   way to implement this. We do not have any built-in system for this so if you 
   need anything more complex than what you have, you will need to implement it 
   yourself with custom development.
 * Please let me know if you have any further questions or comments!
