Lists within Lists

[ryntau]

Hi,
I'm new to the forum and this is my first post.
I'm trying to create an ebook that utilizes a list within a list (or a sublist, if you will)
for instance, i have an unordered list, and on one of those points, i have an ordered sublist. This seems to cause a problem when I try to validate the EPUB file with
http://threepress.org/document/epub-validate

This is how I have structured it, as an example:
<ul>
<li></li>
<li></li>
<ol>
<li></li>
<li></li>
</ol>
<li></li>
</ul>

Try to validate with Flightcrew, the messages will probably be more informative.

I guess the problem is you cannot have content in a list (<ul>) that's not inside an item (<li>), so try adding <li>...</li> around the <ol>...</ol>.

Anyway, I think the formatting options for lists are very poor, so I don't use them, and prefer normal paragraphs with hardcoded numbers if needed.

You can not have something outside the li-tags. Try this:

<ul>
<li></li>
<li>
<ol>
<li></li>
<li></li>
</ol></li>
<li></li>
</ul>
