Re^3: monastery mark-upedness

Isn't closing tags in the correct order part of HTML specifications? And I'm pretty sure that <ul|ol> around lists is in there too. If not maybe we do need to change it.

Another option (really, i would): Just put if you're not us go away on the monastery gates.

I assume you think this because of the down votes you have received, but I can promise you that the majority of the down votes are related directly to your tone and the way you seem to continually attack people. One person upsetting you in a reply to one of your nodes is hardly reason to start a thread ranting at and attacking that person, which is how I perceived this entire thread and I would bet many others did as well.

/me starts welding a new sign for the gates "Can't We All Just Get Along?" Long live CWAJGA!!!

Eric I believe you're correct re nesting but did not seek out the cite. However, despite knowing to a certainty that you are correct re `ol` and `ul` I did copy the relevant part of the w3c standard for our sockpuppets. FTR, directly from the w3c 4.01 spec (http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/lists.html#h-10.2): `10.2 Unordered lists (UL), ordered lists (OL), and list items (LI) <!ELEMENT UL - - (LI)+ -- unordered list --> <!ATTLIST UL %attrs; -- %coreattrs, %i18n, %events - +- > <!ELEMENT OL - - (LI)+ -- ordered list --> <!ATTLIST OL %attrs; -- %coreattrs, %i18n, %events - +- > Start tag: required, End tag: required` [download] Note that closing the `</li>` within either type of list is optional.
