What is it?
This property indicates a graphic to be used for the list markers in the list
structure. This should override the default appearance of list-markers in the current
HTML list structure. If a 'list-style-image' is given a value of 'none' or the
URL can not be loaded, the 'list-style-type' will be used in its place. The
'list-style-type' should always be specified in the event the URL pointed to in
'list-style-image' can not be loaded.
