CSS Lists
Different List Item Markers
The list-style-type
property specifies the type of list item marker.
The following example shows some of the available list item markers:
Example
ul.a {
list-style-type: circle;
}
ul.b {
list-style-type: square;
}
ol.c {
list-style-type: upper-roman;
}
ol.d {
list-style-type: lower-alpha;
}
An Image as The List Item Marker
The list-style-image
property specifies an image as the list item marker:
list-style-image: url('your_image_url');
Position The List Item Markers
The list-style-position
property specifies the position of the list-item markers (bullet points).
"list-style-position: outside;" means that the bullet points will be outside the list item. The start of each line of a list item will be aligned vertically. This is default:
"list-style-position: inside;" means that the bullet points will be inside the list item. As it is part of the list item, it will be part of the text and push the text at the start
Remove Default Settings
The list-style-type:none
property can also be used to remove the markers/bullets. Note that the list also has default margin and padding. To remove this, add margin:0
and padding:0
to <ul> or <ol>:
Styling List With Colors
We can also style lists with colors, to make them look a little more interesting.
Anything added to the <ol> or <ul> tag, affects the entire list, while properties added to the <li> tag will affect the individual list items:
Example
ol {
background: #ff9999;
padding: 20px;
}
ul {
background: #3399ff;
padding: 20px;
}
ol li {
background: #ffe5e5;
padding: 5px;
margin-left: 35px;
}
ul li {
background: #cce5ff;
margin: 5px;
}
