Remarks
The list-style-type property determines the appearance of the list-item marker if the value of the list-style-image property is set to none, or if the image pointed to by the URL cannot be displayed.
The list-style-type property can be applied to any element when margin and display:list-item properties are applied.
If the left margin of a line item is set to 0 using one of the margin properties, the list-item markers do not show. The margin should be set to a minimum of 30 points.
Examples
The following example uses the list-style-type property to set the markers. This example uses the UL element as a selector in an embedded (global) style sheet to change the marker type to circle:
![]() | |
---|---|
<style> ul {list-style-type:circle} </style> |
