What I Did to Understand It

First, I googled “what is a stray bullet”. I got some confusing explanations, mostly about databases and stuff. It’s kinda like, you got some unordered list (you know, the ones with bullet points), and somehow one bullet point just…goes off on its own. Doesn’t belong to any list item. That’s what I understood, anyway.

So, I opened up my code editor and started a new HTML file. I wanted to see this stray bullet thing in action. I just created a simple unordered list:

  • Item 1
  • Item 2
  • Item 3

Everything looked normal. No stray bullets there. I figured maybe it happens when you mess with the styling. I added some CSS, trying to remove the bullet points:

I realized that I was wrong.I can make a stray bullet when add a bullet point before <ul>.

It’s a simple * when I copy code from somewhere,I should pay more attention to aviod this mistake.
