Only recently did I learn about the problem of indenting
DL lists. For the browsers I was using, it indented fine.
But there is apparently some ambiguity about the interpretation of
nested DL lists.
A work around (for some browsers at least) is
that I should include a <DD> before the following
DL list that is to be indented. E.g.
- 1
-
- 1.1
-
- 1.2
-
- 2
-
- 2.1
-
- 2.2
-
Let me know if that doesn't indent properly.
Here is how it is currently done:
- 1
- 1.1
- 1.2
- 2
- 2.1
- 2.2
I'd rather keep using the DL lists since they don't
include the bullets which are superfluous. OL lists
are not right either since the numbers are not
consecutive after deletions. I understand that future
HTML will allow me to specify the number of each item -
that will work just fine.
DL lists
also start at the left whereas the first UL item is
indented. That is probably the source of the ambiguity
for nested DL lists.
I'd also like to not indent quite so deeply, but that
is a browser style issue.
