HTML List Style Type list-style-type

HTML Tutorial » HTML List Style Type

HTML contains some useful tags for displaying content as lists. This makes the text easier to read and highlight.
HTML offers three ways to specify information lists. All lists must contain one or more item lists.

The types of lists that can be used in HTML are:
ul: An unordered list. It will list the items in a box.
ol: A ordered list. This will use different number schemes to list your items.
dl: A list of definitions. This arranges the articles in the same way they are arranged in a dictionary.

We can add list-style-type property to web page in different ways as:
Inline - by using the style attribute in HTML elements
Internal - by using a <style> element in the <head> section
External - by using an external CSS file as style.css

Syntax:

/* Partial list of types */
list-style-type: armenian
list-style-type: circle
list-style-type: decimal
list-style-type: decimal-leading-zero
list-style-type: disc
list-style-type: georgian
list-style-type: inherit
list-style-type: lower-alpha
list-style-type: lower-greek
list-style-type: lower-latin
list-style-type: lower-roman
list-style-type: none
list-style-type: square
list-style-type: upper-alpha
list-style-type: upper-latin
list-style-type: upper-roman

/* value */
list-style-type: '-';

/* Identifier matching an @counter-style rule */
list-style-type: custom-counter-style;

/* Keyword value */
list-style-type: none;

/* Global values */
list-style-type: inherit;
list-style-type: initial;
list-style-type: unset;

Note: use external CSS instead
