Long description for example showing inside vs. outside list marker

This diagram illustrates the fact that the list marker box has no impact on the position of the principal list box.

Two lists are shown, separated by a horizontal line. Each list contains two items with two lines of text each.

For the upper list, the list marker box (which contains a bullet) is outside and to the left of each list item principal box.

For the lower list, the list marker box (which contains a bullet) is the first inline box inside each list item principal box.

Below the second list, an upward-pointing arrow indicates the left edge of all four list item principal boxes. A label reads, "The left sides of the list item boxes are not affected by marker placement."
