Does XHTML 1.0 Strict allow nested lists?

[Jordan Bradford]

I tried validating a page with nested <ul>'s and it's complaining. I haven't
found any specific documentation in the standard that says you can't, but
maybe it's there and I'm not seeing it.

Otherwise, my page must have a syntax error somewhere I haven't yet found.

I also thought of something that might work. Is it acceptable to make a list
part of a list item? Such as <ul><li><ul> . . . </ul></li></ul> Will that
even render?

Thanks a lot,
Jordan Bradford

Then you mustn't have nested them properly. :-)

Yes. That is the correct way to do it.
