The list-style-type property allows you to select the type of list-item marker that you use in a listing. There are three types of list-item markers: alphabetic, glyphs, and numeric. For unordered lists, you can choose disc, circle, or square. For ordered lists, you can select any of the alphabetic or numeric values. For any type of list, you can choose none.
 
This property only applies to elements with display values of list-item.
