When used with MENU and DIR, LI may not contain block-level elements, and lists cannot be nested.

The deprecated TYPE attribute of LI suggests the rendering of the list item marker. Possible values are as follows:

• Case-insensitive values for LI within a UL, DIR, or MENU:
  • disc (a filled-in circle)
  • square (a square outline)
  • circle (a circle outline)
• Case-sensitive values for LI within an OL:
  • 1 (decimal numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ...)
  • a (lowercase alphabetic: a, b, c, d, e, ...)
  • A (uppercase alphabetic: A, B, C, D, E, ...)
  • i (lowercase Roman numerals: i, ii, iii, iv, v, ...)
  • I (uppercase Roman numerals: I, II, III, IV, V, ...)

LI's VALUE attribute specifies the number of the list item when used with an OL. The number must be given as an integer, though the list item marker may be rendered in another form (for example, as a Roman numeral). Any LI element following in the same list will take its default sequence number based on the first preceding VALUE attribute. VALUE is deprecated in HTML 4.0, but no substitute currently exists in CSS.
