HTML <ul> type Attribute

The HTML <ul> type attribute in the <ul> tag specifies the type of marker used in an unordered list. Values include disc (default filled circle), circle (hollow circle), square, and none. It controls the appearance of list items.

Note: The ul type attributes are not supported by HTML 5. Instead of using this attribute, we can use the CSS list-style-type Property.

Syntax:

<ul type="disc | circle | square">

Attribute Values:

  • disc: Default. A filled circle.
  • circle: An unfilled circle
  • square A filled square.
