Dreamweaver nests the list as described previously.
AccessingSpecialList Types
Dreamweaver gives you access to a couple of special-use list types: menu lists and directory lists. When the
tags for these lists??” and , respectively??”were included in the HTML 2.0 specification,
they were intended to offer several ways to present lists of short items. Unfortunately, browsers tend to render
both tags as unordered lists. You can use Cascading Style Sheets to restyle these built-in tags for use in
4.0 and later browsers.
Both the and tags are deprecated in HTML 4.0. Because most browsers format
these lists like unordered lists, you should typically just use ordered lists instead of either of
these list types. Ordered lists are supported in older browsers and will continue to be supported for the
foreseeable future.
Menu lists
A menu list generally comprises single items with each item on its own individual line. To apply a menu list
style, follow these steps:
1. In an existing list, select one item.
2. In the expanded Text Property inspector, click the List Item button.
3. In the List Properties dialog box, open the List Type drop-down list and choose Menu List, as
shown in Figure 15-16.
