The list-style-position
CSS property sets the position of the ::marker
relative to a list item.
It is often more convenient to use the shorthand list-style
.
Note: This property is applied to list items, i.e., elements with
. By default this includes display
: list-item;<li>
elements. Because this property is inherited, it can be set on the parent element (normally <ol>
or <ul>
) to let it apply to all list items.
Note that there is variance among browsers regarding behavior when a block element is placed first within a list element declared as list-style-position: inside
. Chrome and Safari both place this element on the same line as the marker box, whereas Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Opera place it on the next line. For more information on this, see bug 36854.
