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>

<ul>
<li>demo a</li>
<li>demo b</li>
</ul>
