Lists of Lists

A list item can contain a list. For example:

Reds
- red
- pink
- hotpink
- lightpink
Oranges
- orange
- orangered
Yellows
- yellow
- goldenrod
- darkgoldenrod

Examine the outer structure of the above list:

HTML	Display
<ul> <li> Reds </li> <li> Oranges </li> <li> Yellows </li> </ul>	Reds Oranges Yellows

(For clarity, the HTML has been indented and tags have been placed one per line. This works fine, but the browser doesn't need it done this way.) Now let us put a list into the "Red" list item. To do so, change this:

  <li>
  Reds
  </li>

to this:

  <li>
  Reds
    <ul>
    <li>red</li>
    <li>pink</li>
    <li>hotpink</li>
    <li>lightpink</li>
    </ul>
  </li>

All we have done is to make a complete list part of a List Item (which is bracketed by <li> and </li>). Here is what it looks like in context:

HTML	Display
<ul> <li> Reds <ul> <li>red</li> <li>pink</li> <li>hotpink</li> <li>lightpink</li> </ul> </li> <li> Oranges </li> <li> Yellows </li> </ul>	Reds red pink hotpink lightpink Oranges Yellows

QUESTION 3:

Do you suspect that it is possible to have a list of lists that contain lists?
