Text-shadow or similar effect to a <ul> bullet?

Question

As the title says, I'm trying to find a way to add a text-shadow effect for a bullet. I'm using text-shadow to show a light glow behind some text, and I'd like to accomplish this same effect for bullets without having to create my own bullet image.

Answer 1

try this

ul {
  list-style: none;
}

li:before {
  content: '\2022';
  padding: 10px;
  text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px red;
}
