Set marker inside of the box containing the bullet points with CSS


To set marker inside of the box containing the bullet points, use the list-style-position property with the value inside.

 The inside value means if the text goes onto a second line, the text will wrap underneath the marker. It will also appear indented to where the text would have started if the list had a value of outside.

Example

<html>
   <head>
   </head>
   <body>
      <ul style = "list-style-type:square;list-style-position:inside;">
         <li>Maths</li>
         <li>Social Science</li>
         <li>Physics</li>
      </ul>
      <ol style = "list-style-type:lower-alpha;list-style-position:inside;">
         <li>Maths</li>
         <li>Social Science</li>
         <li>Physics</li>
      </ol>
   </body>
</html>
