List Style

You can control the appearance of ordered and unordered lists in one declaration with the list-style property

list-style: value value;

Values:

  • image
  • position
  • type

Or you can control them individually

List Style Image

You can use an image for the bullet of unordered lists with the list-style property

list-style-position: value;

  • inside
  • outside
