Re: Nesting Lists

Hallo Thomas,

Validated strict DTD requires </li>
Validator complains too often opened or not properly closed when only using
<li>.

<ul> is not a container element but a block-level element. Also inline-elements
as <em> or<strong> require </em></strong>

Please use the terms correctly.

Why are you using a <ol> and not <ul>. I don't see why it should be an ordered
list what you show us.
<ul> and <ol> are not the same... and you cannot use them both in one list...


Greetings
Ineke van der Maat
