This version is much better. http://www.greywyvern.com/code/unordered-lists 2005-07-26 14:01:49 I get the point of it now. My main concern with this version is the slug. It's clearly an action, but "Use Lists for Smart Semantic Structure" sounds pretty academic. Maybe... Use list markup for list structures. Or... Tell mobile devices and search engines about your lists. The obvious answer to "This is plainly a list of links, so why not use the HTML list format to present them?" to many HTML authors is "because I don't want bullets nor numbers." That point is treated in the article, but fairly subtly and far away, after an intervening paragraph and a heading. It would be nice to illustrate the CSS code and show the rendering, but maybe there isn't space. Surely one of the linked references goes into that detail; maybe just You can get the same visual effect with <ul> as you did with <br />; see _xyz article_ for details. The example at the top is somewhat responsive to my request... > It might be nice to see an example of the right way, followed by > that example done the wrong way. (always put the right answer > first, in case an impatient reader stops reading.) but it has the example of what *not* to do first, and that bad example is not even typographically distinguished from the example of what *to* do. I'm not sure I like the Smart/Semantic/Structure headings. Too subtle/cute for my tastes. Also, I still think it's pretty important to have hard evidence to back the claim that PDAs and crawlers grok <ul>. I'd love to see screenshots of the impact on a PDA, or at least a link in the references section to something about a specific PDA web browser that groks <ul> helpfully. -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/ D3C2 887B 0F92 6005 C541 0875 0F91 96DE 6E52 C29E
