That is because the before (default) and after is margin: 0. To
make a big effect, choose some other value. Like -5px? or 20px or
-10px...
But first, try the following and describe exactly - exactly -
what it is you want and maybe someone, even me, can tell you what
to put in the css style (nothing there in the following):
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>A simple list</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=ISO-8859-1">
<style type="text/css" title="text/css">
<!--
-->
</style>
</head>
<body>
<ul>
<li>The baffled young trader</li>
<li>The desert crossing</li>
<li>The fork an army faced</li>
<li>Missionaries and cannibals</li>
<li>The missing king</li>
<li>The camel skin trader</li>
<li>The king's daughters</li>
<li>Poo & Piglet take a walk</li>
<li>Three wise men</li>
<li>The liar and the truth teller</li>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
