In HTML, the
and - tags can include a type attribute that defines the shape of the bullet.
Although the type attribute doesn??™t include a wide range of different bullet symbols, you have a few
options. Most browsers recognize three bullet styles: bullet (the default), circle, and square. You can apply
the style to the entire unordered list or to one list item at a time.
In the HTML 4.0 specification, the type attribute is deprecated. This means that although still
supported by current browsers, the attribute has been replaced by a newer or more desirable
method of achieving the same thing. In this case, the type attribute has been replaced by newer Cascading
Style Sheet attributes. Because the type attribute is deprecated, it may not be supported at all in future versions
of HTML. On a practical level, however, major browsers tend to continue supporting deprecated tags
and elements so that older Web pages continue to display correctly. According to the HTML specification, if
a browser stops supporting the attribute, the browser should simply ignore the attribute when encountered
in a page.
