Let's try saying it anoher way: A nested (child) list is _ENLCOSED_WITHIN_AN_ITEM_ of a higher-level list. The nested list is the child of the item parent. To nest a list within an item, one must open the item but not close it until the nested list is done (i.e., closed). Thus, for an unordered (bullet) list: <.ul> <.li>Parent item <!-- not closed --> <.ul> <!-- child list begins --> <.li>Child item 1</li> <.li>Child item 2</li> </ul> <!-- close child list --> </li> <!-- close parent item --> </ul> <!-- close parent list --> For an ordered (numbered) list, subsitute ol for ul. The nesting process may be continued ad infinitum (to grand-children, great-granchildren, etc.) but gets unwieldy. Also unwieldy (and this may be the problem) are very long child lists, with many items; it's hard to see where to close the parent items. -rt_/)

If it doesn't confuse the issue, it is the same principle as used for nested tables, which I know Judy used at one point for the design template for her site, i.e. <.table> <.tr> <.td style="background-color:dusty-rose; padding: 20px;"> <.table> <.tr> <.td style="background-color: white;">Main Content goes here</td> <./tr> <./table> <./td> <./tr> <./table> IOW, the nested item (whether a table or list) must be ENCLOSED AND COMPLETED WITHIN the smallest division of the block item in which it is being nested. In the case of a table that is a table data cell <.td>. When nesting lists, the smallest division is a line <.li> Pat A.
