How to increment Counter in CSS for a list with :before

I tried to increment a counter for a list with CSS.

However, even though I can see the list numbers, those don’t increment.

I used :before and the CSS property counter.

.services__details--content__step > ul > li:before {
  content: counter(counter);
  counter-increment: counter;
  color: #0052ff;
  background-color: #e8effe;
  display: inline-flex;
  width: 40px;
  height: 40px;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  margin-right: 16px;
  border-radius: 50%;
}

The HTML code is as follows:

<div class="services__details--content__step">
              <h2 class="services__details--content__title">
                Les Étapes de la Création du Site
              </h2>
              <ul>
                <li>

                  <p class="services__details--content__desc">
                    Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and
                    typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the
                    industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s,
                    when an unknown printer.

                    also the leap into electronic remaining.
                  </p>
                </li>
              </ul>
            </div>

>Solution :

You need to set the counter to 0 first.
The only thing you need to do is add:

body {
  /* Set "counter" to 0 */
  counter-reset: counter;
}
.services__details--content__step > ul > li:before {
  content: counter(counter);
  counter-increment: counter;
  color: #0052ff;
  background-color: #e8effe;
  display: inline-flex;
  width: 40px;
  height: 40px;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  margin-right: 16px;
  border-radius: 50%;
}

body {
  /* Set "counter" to 0 */
  counter-reset: counter;
}
<div class="services__details--content__step">
              <h2 class="services__details--content__title">
                Les Étapes de la Création du Site
              </h2>
              <ul>
                <li>

                  <p class="services__details--content__desc">
