• list-style-image (specifies an image as the list item marker)

). By way of illustration, we’ll apply this rule to the each individual
element inside their parent
:

 .one < list-style-type: decimal; >.two < list-style-type: decimal-leading-zero; >.three < list-style-type: lower-roman; >.four < list-style-type: upper-roman; >.five < list-style-type: lower-greek; >.six < list-style-type: lower-latin; >.seven < list-style-type: upper-latin; >.eight < list-style-type: armenian; >.nine < list-style-type: georgian; >.ten < list-style-type: lower-alpha; >.eleven



Changing Punctuation in List Items

You can add a semicolon at the end of each list item or any other punctuation mark:



You can also remove a comma in an ordered list marker:



Position the List Item Markers

Web browsers also dictate how CSS list items are positioned. You might want to change the default look.

First, you might want to remove the margin to the left of your list (apply margin-left with any value that suits you).

Second, you can add the list-style-position: inside; so that the bullet points would be inside the list item and part of the text. The result will be a CSS list indent.



If you want the text to be aligned along one line vertically, simply remove list-style-position: inside; :



You can use a shorthand property to set all the list properties in one declaration: ul

Colored Markers

By default, markers of unordered lists are round, small and have the same color as the text. You can set the color and size of markers the way you like. For example, let’s make them bigger and pink-colored:

 ul < display: block; margin-left: -10px; >ul li < display: block; position: relative; >ul li:not(:last-child) < margin-bottom: 16px; >ul li:before



Apply linear-gradient() instead of simple color, and you will get gradient markers:

If you only want to change the color, apply these rules:

Likewise, you can change the color of markers in an ordered list:



The counter-increment property allows you to assign a name to your counter. This provides a way to identify the counter when using the ::before pseudo-element. When you name the counter-increment “item” (or whatever you like), you’re telling the browser to use a counter for each list item.

Colored Markers with Background

You can go further and add even more visual effects. For example, you can create markers with numbers in colored squares:



You can also use a different font family for numbers in list item markers:



It is also possible to make round colored markers with numbers.

 ol < counter-reset: item; list-style-type: none; line-height: 2.2; margin-left: -40px; >ol li < display: block; position: relative; >ol li span < margin-left: 40px; >ol li:before

The result will look like this:
