How to style unordered lists with CSS
The code below shows you how to style unordered lists with CSS.
Note: the list-style-type property is applied to either <ul> or <li> elements and is used to change the style of the list item marker.
Unordered lists, lists made with the <ul> element, can have a possibility of four different styles: disc, circle, square and none.
