To customize the type of marker in the list, use the listStyleType property of the ListElement. This property can be
any value defined by the ListStyleType class (such as check, circle, decimal, and box). The following example
creates lists with various marker types and a custom counter increment:
upperAlpha item another lowerAlpha
item another upperRoman item
another
lowerRoman item another
You use the ListMarkerFormat class to define the counter. In addition to defining the increment of a counter, you can
also customize the counter by resetting it with the counterReset property.
You can further customize the appearance of the markers in your lists by using the beforeContent and
afterContent properties of the ListMarkerFormat. These properties apply to content that appears before and after
the content of the marker.
The following example adds the string “XX” before the marker, and the string “YY” after the marker:
Item 1
Item 2
Item 3
