List

Introduction

The list properties specify the style of list elements.

In HTML, there are two main types of lists:

  • unordered lists (<ul>) – the list items are marked with bullets
  • ordered lists (<ol>) – the list items are marked with numbers or letters

The CSS list properties allow you to:

  • Set different list item markers for ordered lists
  • Set different list item markers for unordered lists
  • Set an image as the list item marker
  • Add background colors to lists and list items
