Bullet list query

K

If I have a li entry in a ul list and the entry wraps over 3 lines, is there
any way of positioning the bullet to the left of the middle line, instead of
the default position at the left of the top line?
TIA

No.

You could disable the list marker and use a background image on the list
element instead. This would give you control over the vertical
positioning of the "bullet". Consider however that this wrecks the
normal fall back for situations where the client has images disabled, if
you use a graphic list bullet then a graphical browser will replace the
image with the system generated bullet if images are disabled, this
feature is lost if you use a background image to fake a list marker.

With inline-images and "alt" text this seems do-able. Albeit a bit hard.
Isn't it?
