    Padding

    You can increase the padding by stating a distance in px. You may need to adjust padding based on the bullet type selected. Minimum padding for the default type 'disc' is 15 px.

    string

    15px

    (error)

    When "15px" is given against the padding field & the bullet type is "disc", this is the minimum space between the left margin and the bullet. The bullets cannot be flushed left beyond this point. If a value less than 12px is specified, the bullets do not display, and from 12px to 14px the bullets are only partially visible. If the padding value is anything more than 15px the bullets move right from the margin, accordingly.
