Fizz Buzz in CSS

A shorter solution is possible with an ordered list (<ol>) if we're willing to ignore the untidy output:

  li:nth-child(3n), li:nth-child(5n) { list-style: none }
  li:nth-child(3n)::before { content: "Fizz" }
  li:nth-child(5n)::after { content: "Buzz" }

Example: https://susam.net/code/web/css-fizz-buzz-ol.html

  $ curl -sS https://susam.net/code/web/css-fizz-buzz-ol.html | sed -n '/none/,/after/p' |  tr -d '[:space:]' 
  li:nth-child(3n),li:nth-child(5n){list-style:none}li:nth-child(3n)::before{content:"Fizz"}li:nth-child(5n)::after{content:"Buzz"}
  $ curl -sS https://susam.net/code/web/css-fizz-buzz-ol.html | sed -n '/none/,/after/p' |  tr -d '[:space:]' | wc -c
  129

But I don't quite like how misaligned the numbers and the words look in this version.

Ignoring the size of the HTML in addition to the CSS, it’s fun, but not really fair when talking about code golf. Beyond a few numbers, you need to include some JavaScript and generating a million list elements. But those bytes count …

I love this, it's a very clever and funny way to solve the problem. Makes me think about how there are infinite routes from A to B, some more scenic and whimsical than others.. as well as all the people I've met along the way who would be so pissed and pedantic about how this isn't a "real solution" LOL
