The list-style-image CSS property specifies an image to be used as the list item marker. It is often more convenient to use the shorthand list-style.
The source for this interactive example is stored in a GitHub repository. If you'd like to contribute to the interactive examples project, please clone https://github.com/mdn/interactive-examples and send us a pull request.
Note: This property is applied to list items, i.e. elements with 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.
