I was just having this problem a week or two ago, so I'll chime in here:
An issue with your method of creating a hang is that I can't see any way
to set a hang that's (A) exactly the width of the marker *and* (B)
starts exactly where text would normally start in a block box.
Presumably, I could use something like...
*::marker {
content: "✔ ";
display: inline-block; /* to apply margin */
margin-left: -100%; /* left offset: width of the marker */
white-space: pre; /* keep marker space */
}
However, while the above would solve (A), it does not meet the (B)
requirement since, as far as I know, there is no way to set a left
padding-/margin-length on an ancestor such that it's the exact width of
a text marker.
