Counters with Zero Padding

How I do counters with zero padding.

Imagine that I want this kind of headers

# XXX-{counter:header} HEADER 1
# XXX-{counter:header} HEADER 2
# XXX-{counter:header} HEADER 3
# XXX-{counter:header} HEADER 4
# XXX-{counter:header} HEADER 5
# XXX-{counter:header} HEADER 6
# XXX-{counter:header} HEADER 7
# XXX-{counter:header} HEADER 8
# XXX-{counter:header} HEADER 9
# XXX-{counter:header} HEADER 10

This should be shown as

XXX-01 HEADER 1
XXX-02 HEADER 2
XXX-03 HEADER 3
XXX-04 HEADER 4
XXX-05 HEADER 5
XXX-06 HEADER 6
XXX-07 HEADER 7
XXX-08 HEADER 8
XXX-09 HEADER 9
XXX-10 HEADER 10

It is possible to do this?

That's outside the scope of the built-in counter system. Counters are intentionally primitive (primarily used for built-in functionality like block numbering).

Instead, you should create a custom inline macro. Something like counter:name[pad=0].

See https://asciidoctor.org/docs/user-manual/#inline-macro-processor-example
