It is often more convenient to use the shorthand list-style

N.B. There is variance among browsers regarding behaviour when a block element is placed first within a list element declared as list-style-position:inside
. Chrome and Safari both place this element on the same line as the marker box, whereas Firefox, Internet Explorer and Opera place it on the next line. For more information on this, see this Mozilla Bug report and an example.
