There's currently no way to style list markers. They aren't an HTML element, nor are they pseudo elements. So, you'll need to use images to accomplish the look you are going for. Since the numbers are most likely part of your content and not just decoration, I would not use background images in CSS to do this, but place the images directly in the HTML using the img element. You can float them to the left and give the text a large enough left margin to create space for them. Zoe -- Zoe M.
