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


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

Example

 The outside value means if the text goes onto a second line, the text will be aligned with the start of the first line

<html>
   <head>
   </head>
   <body>
      <ul style = "list-style-type:circle; list-style-position:outside;">
         <li>Maths</li>
         <li>Social Science</li>
         <li>Physics</li>
      </ul>
      <ol style = "list-style-type:decimal;list-style-position:outside;">
         <li>Maths</li>
         <li>Social Science</li>
         <li>Physics</li>
      </ol>
   </body>
</html>
