Outline-style lists would seem to me to be entirely a presentation issue. For example, collapsed lists might be specified like this: <HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Collapsed Outline Demo</TITLE> <STYLE> OL, UL, DL : List.Style = accordian OL.OPEN, UL.OPEN, DL.OPEN : List.Style = expanded OL.CLOSED, UL.CLOSED, DL.CLOSED : List.Style = collapsed </STYLE -- It is necessary to have both OPEN and CLOSED versions because of inherited styles. This assumes a CSS-like stylesheet language, and should probable say so in the <STYLE> tag... i.e., <STYLE NOTATION=CSS>... my apologies. --> </HEAD> <BODY> <H1>Collapsed Outline-Style Lists</H1> <P> This document contains several accordian-style (sp?) lists. Non-stylesheet browsers should, of course, render them fully expanded. Also, note that the <LH> (List Header) is shown in place of a collapsed list. <UL CLASS=OPEN> <LH>This is the first list. It is initially expanded. <LI>Item 1 <LI>Item 2 <LI><UL CLASS=CLOSED> <LH>Note that the third list item <em>is</em> a collapsed list! <LI>Item 3.1 <LI>Item 3.2 <LI>Item 3.2 </UL> <LI>Item 4 </UL> <OL CLASS=CLOSED> <LH>This is the second list. It is numbered, and closed initially. <LI><OL CLASS=OPEN> <LH>Note that this list will be visible immediately when the outer-level <OL> is expanded. <LI>1.1 <LI>1.2 <LI>1.3 (Numbers would actually be generated automatically by the rendering software... the stylesheet might also include a line to make numbering inherit.) </OL> <LI><OL CLASS=CLOSED> <LH>This list would be still be collapsed when the outer-level list is expanded. <LI>2.1 <LI>2.2 </OL? -- oops! that's </OL> (I'm typing this a line at a time, sorry --> <LI>Item three. </OL> </BODY> </HTML> Any comments? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Benjamin C.
