No. A UL can contain only LI elements directly, but you have it
containing another UL. You need to put the inner UL within an LI:
<ul>
<li>
<b>Heading 1</b><br>
Description
<ul>
<li><b>SubHeading 1</b>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="link">Link
1</a><br>
Link Info<br>
Link Description<br>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
