CSS list-style Property
The list-style property in CSS is used to set the list style. This property is a combination of three other properties, namely, list-style-type, list-style-position, and list-style-image, which can be used as a shorthand notation for these three properties. The default value of this property will be used if any one of the values is missed.
Syntax:
list-style: list-style-type list-style-position list-style-image|initial|inherit;
Property values:
- list-style-type: This value sets the marker (such as a disc, character, or custom counter style) of a list item element. Its default value is a disc.
- list-style-position: This value sets the position of the marker relative to a list item. Its default value is “outside”.
- list-style-image: This value sets an image to be used as the list item marker. Its default value is “none”.
We will understand the concepts of list-style property through the examples.
