list-style-image
Baseline Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.
The list-style-image
CSS property sets an image to be used as the list item marker.
It is often more convenient to use the shorthand list-style
.
Try it
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.
