[pmwiki-users] Custom bullets in lists

[Roman]

I understand. And what about less general but also sufficient way that
assumes predefined image directory? Is there a way how to define a
wikistyle that will not use its argument directly but surround it by
other text. So %listimage=custombullet.gif% in wiki markup would be
expanded like this:
'list-style-image:url($UploadUrlFmt/Images/custombullet.gif)'.
