The list-style-image CSS property sets an image to be used as the list item marker.
It is often more convenient to use the shorthand list-style.

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.
