I think the question is relating to CSS list-style-types but it does look like it could be a JavaScript multidimensional array question.

Magdalena Misiuna ,

I don't this is best achieved with CSS (but my css is pretty rusty). There are a set list of values with the list-type-type property.

You can see a list of the values here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/list-style-type#Values

You could use try styling your css list items with the following:

    /* Target all list item elements and add square braces: [ 1. ] */
    li:before {
      content: '[ \00a0 \00a0 \00a0 ]';
      margin-left: -28px;
      margin-right: 10px;
    }

I think JavaScript would be better suited to achieving this than pure css.
