Nested lists are easier than the prior discussion made them seem. Think of a subsidiary, nested list as being enclosed _WITHIN_AN_ITEM_ of the higher-level list. Like (with preceding dots for opening tags) so: <.ul> <.li>Item 1 <!-- Do NOT close this item yet --> <.ul> <.li>Item 1a</li> <.li>Item 1b</li> </ul> </li> <!-- NOW you close Item 1 --> <.li>Item 2</li> </ul> It works similarly with ordered lists but you'd probably want to use something like: <.ol type="1"> <.li>Item 1 <!-- Do NOT close this item yet --> <.ol type="a"> <.li>Item 1a</li> <.li>Item 1b</li> </ol> </li> <!-- NOW you close Item 1 --> <.li>Item 2</li> </ol> The trick is not to close the item containing the nested list until after closing the nested list. When you close that item, you're saying (in HTML) that you're either beginning a new item at the same level as before or a new list. -rt_/)
