Yes, it is possible to create a slide navigation in Webflow that looks like "< 1/N >" with N representing the number of slides in the slider and "<" and ">" functioning as built-in slider arrows. Here's how you can achieve this:

Create a Slider element on your Webflow page and add your desired content into each slide. You can find the Slider element in the Add panel on the left side of the Webflow Designer.
Customize the appearance of the Slider element according to your design preferences. You can adjust the height, width, background color, and other styling options in the Style tab of the Slider's settings.
To add custom navigation arrows, click on the Slider element and navigate to the settings panel on the right side of the Designer.
Under the Navigation section, enable the "Show arrows" option. This will display the default arrows provided by Webflow.
To replace the default arrows with "<" and ">", you'll need to add custom code in the Head section of your site. Navigate to the Page Settings by clicking the gear icon in the top-right corner of the Designer, and switch to the Custom Code tab.
In the Custom Code tab, click on the "Add head code" button and paste the following CSS code:

/* Styling for left arrow */.w-slider-out .w-slider-arrow-left:before {  content: "<";}/* Styling for right arrow */.w-slider-out .w-slider-arrow-right:before {  content: ">";}

Save the changes, and you should see the navigation arrows in the form of "<" and ">" instead of the default arrows. The slide number will automatically display based on the active slide.

Keep in mind that the appearance of the arrows can be further customized by adding more CSS styles targeting the .w-slider-out .w-slider-arrow-left and .w-slider-out .w-slider-arrow-right classes.

By following these steps, you can create a slide navigation in Webflow that displays "< 1/N >" with custom arrows. Overall, this provides a visually appealing design and improves the user experience by indicating the number of slides in the slider and allowing users to navigate through them easily.
