list-style-type

Utilities for controlling the marker style of a list.

| Class | Styles | | --- | --- | | list-disc | list-style-type: disc; | | list-decimal | list-style-type: decimal; | | list-none | list-style-type: none; | | list-(<custom-property>) | list-style-type: var(<custom-property>); | | list-[<value>] | list-style-type: <value>; |

Examples


Basic example

Use utilities like list-disc and list-decimal to control the style of the markers in a list:

list-disc

  • Now this is a story all about how, my life got flipped-turned upside down
  • And I'd like to take a minute just sit right there
  • I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-Air

list-decimal

  • Now this is a story all about how, my life got flipped-turned upside down
  • And I'd like to take a minute just sit right there
  • I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-Air

list-none

  • Now this is a story all about how, my life got flipped-turned upside down

  • And I'd like to take a minute just sit right there

  • I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-Air

    <ul class="list-disc"> <li>Now this is a story all about how, my life got flipped-turned upside down</li> <!-- ... --></ul><ol class="list-decimal"> <li>Now this is a story all about how, my life got flipped-turned upside down</li> <!-- ... --></ol><ul class="list-none"> <li>Now this is a story all about how, my life got flipped-turned upside down</li> <!-- ... --></ul>

Using a custom value

Use the list-[<value>] syntax to set the marker based on a completely custom value:

<ol class="list-[upper-roman] ...">  <!-- ... --></ol>

For CSS variables, you can also use the list-(<custom-property>) syntax:

<ol class="list-(--my-marker) ...">  <!-- ... --></ol>

This is just a shorthand for list-[var(<custom-property>)] that adds the var() function for you automatically.

Responsive design

Prefix a list-style-type utility with a breakpoint variant like md: to only apply the utility at medium screen sizes and above:

<ul class="list-none md:list-disc ...">  <!-- ... --></ul>
