October 10, 2013 at 7:17 pmThe list-style-image property is not supported.
I think the closest you can get to what you want is to use an element:before selector together with content:url(small.png);

October 11, 2013 at 8:05 pmGiven the CSS that you quote in your latest message the image needs to be in the same folder as your CSS file. Relative paths are relative to the CSS file.
If it is already there then maybe you've found a form of PNG image that XMetaL has trouble rendering. Try another image type to test that, such as JPG or GIF. PNG images are supported but I believe our rendering engine is not 100% up to date on the latest PNG format.

October 16, 2013 at 9:05 pmIn this case you have a path problem.
If you are using an XAC file to distribute your customizations you will need to make sure the image is in the XAC so that it is unpacked at the same location as the CSS file. If it were me I would avoid using the XAC file format in this case and distribute your customization as separate files (DTD, CSS, CTM, MCR, etc). The XAC file is used if found so make sure it isn't there.
