Content
We also have to drop our background-color and border-radius so we’ll swap to using our custom property for the color value. And we’ll change our custom property name to –marker-color for clarity. However, it’s a very easy solve – wrap the li content in a span. Our grid template doesn’t care what the elements are, but it does only expect two elements, where the pseudo element counts as the first. The emoji still is allowed to take up width to be visible, but effectively sits in the gap.
This example demonstrates how to create a bordered list without bullets. The color of the list marker will be whatever the computed color of the element is . Floating footers can occur for many reasons, but modern CSS methods using either flexbox or CSS grid let us plan a future-proof solution for any size layout. Whereas in a previous life I have done fun things with modulus in PHP to split up lists and apply extra classes to achieve evenly divided multi-column lists. The line-height is half of the applied line-height of the li (at least that’s what worked for this font, it may be a bit of a magic number).
Future Pseudo-element styling #
This example demonstrates how to create a list with a red left border. If one of the property values above is missing, the default value for the missing property will be inserted, if any. I want to give hotspot for the image which i give as bullets.
The possible value for the list style type can be anything, even language-specific letters, roman numerals, etc. To know various supported list style types in CSS head over to this MDN Docs. Just by changing the CSS list-style-type value, we can change the bullets of any list. The possible value for the list style type can be anything, even language-specific letters, Roman numerals, and so on.

We get the default style type, which is a number for the ordered list and a disc for the unordered list. Using @counter-style we can define the custom list style type for individual items of the list. There are three important properties that we need to know to customize the list style types. Using @counter-style, we can define the custom list style type for individual items of the list. Just by changing the CSS list style type value, we can change the bullets of any list.
- In HTML there are two types of lists namely ordered and unordered lists.
- In order to change the bullet type for the list, we just need to use CSS list- style-type with the bullet we need.
- The line-height is half of the applied line-height of the li (at least that’s what worked for this font, it may be a bit of a magic number).
- First we add a reset of list styles in addition to defining them as a grid with a gap.
- The list-style-position property specifies the position of the list-item markers .
- FontAwesome now handles list styles internally with CSS classes.
It aligns the number where we would like in relation to the main li text content. The document has a structure that reflects its meaning and you don’t want to touch that. And sometimes the markup is generated by a system over which you have no control. His solution is my favourite, but I always had problem with indentation when the li had more than one line. It was fiddly to find the correct indentation with margins etc. I’d like to provide an alternate, easier solution that is specific to FontAwesome. If you’re using a different iconic font, JOPLOmacedo’s answer is still perfectly fine for use.

But if the numbers are wider than the box, they will not be right aligned, but left aligned. Text is not allowed to overflow a box on the left side in CSS… unless it is text in a right-to-left language, such as a Hebrew or Arabic. FontAwesome now handles list styles internally with CSS classes.

Position The List Item Markers
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. To learn more about this and potential workarounds, see list-style.
I’ve included a longer bullet to assist in checking alignment, spacing, and line-heihgt. Learn more about arbitrary value support in the arbitrary values documentation. To learn more, check out the documentation on Responsive Design, Dark Mode and other media query modifiers. For a complete list of all available state modifiers, check out the Hover, Focus, & Other States documentation. You could and should also put the spacing unit in a css variable instead of repeating it throughout the code. You need system value as fixed only when you know that the number of items are fixed else it’s better to go for cyclic or any other type.
You can experiment with setting the first li grid column to auto which will cause gap to fully be applied between the emoji column and the list text column. The list-style-position property specifies the position of the list-item markers . If you want to specifically target the bullet list size without touching the font, you might need to simply upload your own custom bullet image. Learn how to coexist with that unpredictability by using adaptive, contextual spacing techniques. We’ll construct a starter set of custom properties for gap, margin, and padding. To create bulleted or numeric lists, use the list-disc and list-decimal utilities. The difficulty of changing the style of the list bullet lies in the fact that both the bullet and the text are in the same element .
Even “images/yourimage.jpg” is a url, it’s just what’s called a “relative URL”, because it’s relative to where the file is that’s calling for it. And the visual results is identical to our previous solution, as you can see in the demo.
So using the @counter-style that is how we can add individual list style types. We can use the @counter-style to add individual list style types. When the system is defined as cyclic, the same list style type repeats after all types are done. When it is fixed, the style type for the item number is more than the number of symbols defined.
