The list-style-type CSS property sets the marker (such as a disc, character, or custom counter style) of a list item element.
The marker will be currentcolor, the same as the computed color of the element it applies to.
Only a few elements ( and ) have a default value of display: list-item. However, the list-style-type property may be applied to any element whose display value is set to list-item. Moreover, because this property is inherited, it can be set on a parent element (commonly or ) to make it apply to all list items.
The list-style-type property may be defined as any one of:
•a value,
•a symbols() value,
•a value, or
•the keyword none.
Note that:
Safari will not recognize an ordered or unordered list as a list in the accessibility tree if it has a list-style-type value of none. This can be resolved by adding role="list" to the list's opening tag. To learn more about this and potential workarounds, see list-style.
