Using an internal CSS style sheet to define styles for <ol>
and <li>
elements has been efficient. However, I recently encountered a situation where I need to use inline styling to achieve the desired effect. Specifically, I want the list elements to be displayed in blue color while the list bullets should appear in red.
<style>ol { list-style-type:upper-roman; color:blue; } ol li span { color: red; } </style>
The above code snippet accomplishes this using an internal style sheet. My challenge lies in replicating the same result with inline styling alone. The following code applies only one color for everything:
<ol list-style-type:upper-roman; style="color:blue;">
<li><span>Apple</span></li>
<li><span>Orange<span></li>
<li><span>Pear<span></li>
<li><span>Grape<span></li>
</ol>
I haven’t been able to figure out how to include the part that targets the list items specifically, without individually styling each <li>
. Specifically, I'm unable to incorporate the following line from the internal style sheet into the inline styling statement:
ol li span { color: red; }
If you have any insights on how to achieve this through inline styling without modifying each list item separately, I would greatly appreciate it!
