Hello,

To set left margins to list items when importing HTML a custom list style must be used:

$myListStyle = array();
$myListStyle[0]['left'] = 900;
$docx->createListStyle('myliststyle', $myListStyle);

$html = '
<ul class="myliststyle">
    <li>First item.</li>
    <li>Second item.</li>
    <li>Third item.</li>
</ul>';
$docx->embedHTML($html, array('customListStyles' => true));

Changing left margins of list items isn't supported applying CSS styles. Paragraphs and other elements support setting custom margins using CSS styles.

Regards.
