Setting List Style Type in CSS
The CSS list-style-type property is used to style the marker of list items. We can apply these styles to both unordered and ordered lists.
Syntax
The syntax of CSS list-style-type property is as follows −
Selector { list-style-type: /*value*/ }
Example
The following examples illustrate the styling of lists
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <style> ol li { padding: 5px; list-style-type: lower-roman; } li:last-child { font-size: 1.2em; font-style: italic; list-style-type: circle; } </style> </head> <body> <ol> <li>demo1</li> <li> demo 2 <ul> <li>demo a</li> <li>demo b</li> </ul> </li> <li>demo 3</li> </ol> </body> </html>
Output
This gives the following output −
Example
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <style> ol li { width: 50%; margin: 5px; font-size: 1.2em; list-style-type: devanagari; border: thin solid; background: linear-gradient(to right, lightgreen, pink,lightblue); } li:last-child { font-style: italic; list-style-type: lower-latin; } </style> </head> <body> <ol> <li>Eh!?</li> <li> demo one <ol> <li>What!?</li> <li>demo two</li> </ol> </li> <li>demo 3</li> <li>demo four</li> </ol> </body> </html>
