CSS LIST-STYLE-TYPE

This property is used when the author wishes to change the default appearance of list-markers in HTML list structures. If a ‘list-style-image’ property is also given and it has a value of ‘none’ or the URL can not be loaded, the ‘list-style-type’ property value will be used in its place. This property should always be specified in the event the URL pointed to in ‘list-style-image’ can not be loaded. If a value for this property is not understood, the value ‘decimal’ should be used

Example
ul { list-style-type: square }
  • some text
