import allLocales from './assets/all-locales.js';

const formatNumberDemoStyle = css`
  .demo-table {
    border-collapse: collapse;
    text-align: right;
  }
  .demo-table thead > tr {
    border-bottom: 1px solid grey;
  }
  .demo-table thead > tr > :first-child,
  .demo-table tbody > tr > :first-child,
  .demo-table tfoot > tr > :first-child {
    text-align: left;
  }
  .demo-table th,
  .demo-table td {
    padding: 8px;
  }
