Well, if you're just learning, the suggestion above was more clever
than pedagogical. I would really suggest that you use something more
like

http://jsbin.com/olowa (code http://jsbin.com/olowa/edit)

This puts the actual formatting in CSS, where it belongs:

.special {text-indent: 2em;}
.odd {color: red;}

And doesn't do any complicated .find()-.end() switching of the jQuery,
using instead a simple:

$("#myList li:odd").addClass("odd");
$("#myList li:eq(4)").hoverClass("special");

This uses a minor plug-in to jQuery which I use so often I would
choose to put it in core if I could:

$.fn.hoverClass = function(className) {
return this.hover(function() {$(this).addClass(className);},
function() {$(this).removeClass
(className);});
}
