list-style

The list-style CSS property is a shorthand for setting the individual values that define how a list is displayed: list-style-type, list-style-image, and list-style-position.

/* type */
list-style: square;

/* image */
list-style: url('../img/shape.png');

/* position */
list-style: inside;

/* type | position */
list-style: georgian inside;

/* type | image | position */
list-style: lower-roman url('../img/shape.png') outside;

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

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

Initial value	as each of the properties of the shorthand: `list-style-type`: `disc` `list-style-position`: `outside` `list-style-image`: `none`
Applies to	list items
Inherited	yes
Media	visual
Computed value	as each of the properties of the shorthand: `list-style-image`: `none` or the image with its URI made absolute `list-style-position`: as specified `list-style-type`: as specified
Animation type	discrete
Canonical order	order of appearance in the formal grammar of the values

Note: This property is applied to list items, i.e., elements with display: list-item; . By default this includes <li> elements. Because this property is inherited, it can be set on a parent element (normally <ol> or <ul>) to make the same list styling apply to all the items inside.

Syntax

The list-style property is specified as one, two, or three keywords in any order. If list-style-type and list-style-image are both set, then list-style-type is used as a fallback if the image is unavailable.

Values

list-style-type: See list-style-type.
list-style-image: See list-style-image.
list-style-position: See list-style-position.
none: No list style is used.

Formal syntax

<'list-style-type'> || <'list-style-position'> || <'list-style-image'>
