Nested Lists in html?

[Guest_imported]

can I use numbered nested lists in html?
I don't mean to use the <ul> tag to get nested un-numbered lists, I'm trying to make something like:

1. Test 1
1.1. Test 1.1
1.2. Test 1.2
1.2.1. Test 1.2.1
2. Test 2
3. Test 3

and so on...

I can't find no way of doing this in Html, is there a way?

TIA

I don't think this is possible, but check this code:

<ol type=&quot;1&quot;>
<li>Item 1
<li>Item 2

<ol type=&quot;A&quot;>
<li>Item 2.A
<li>Item 2.B
</ol>

<li>Item 3
</ol>

you can use other values for the TYPE attribute, the values are: 1, a, A, i, I

but if you want to indent, you must use blockquotes

<blockquote>
<ol>
<li>element 1</li>
<blockquote>
<ol>
<li> Element 1.1</li>
</ol>
</blockquote>
<li>Element 2</li>
</ol>

well that's more or less what I've achieved, but I really need the structure like that. I mean

1.
1.1.
1.2.
2.

I cannot have A,B,C instead of 1.1, 1.2, 1.3.

That would be really annoying if this isn't possible in HTML

just one thing. Do you use a server-side language to generate the pages, or you have HTML static files? Anikin

Hi mate,

Give this a try and let me know if it will do the job..

<OL>
<LI>This is #1.
<UL>
1.1 Whatever you want in here.<br>
1.2 Whatever you want in here.
</UL>
<LI>This is #2.
<UL>
2.1 Whatever you want in here.<br>
2.2 Whatever you want in here.
</UL>
<LI>This is #3.
<UL>
3.1 Whatever you want in here.<br>
3.2 Whatever you want in here.
</UL>
</OL>

Anikin: I'm developing VB application to generate the pages, this is an application to automatically create some documentation in HTML format. Then the htmls will be distributed with the app.

wullie: Yes, that would work, I was thinking on using something like that, the problem is I'd need to build the indexes by myself. If there was an automatic solution it would be cleaner.

if you are using something to generate the pages, you can always use programming and loops to generate the numbers, and if you don't like blockquotes, generate indents using some nbsp's.

yeah... I can do that, but I was trying to avoid it. It seems it will be the only way though

How often does the information in the nested lists change?

I is different for each user request or is it more like a presentation of a document?

 

[Guest_imported]

Well, it's never the same. Basically it depends on some options the user must do.
I can have up to 4 levels in the list and all with a variable amount of items, it's nothing with fixed size.
