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>
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.
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>
Learn more about using variants in the variants documentation.
