One frustrating deficiency with this community tool is that list elements cannot be nested, either via rich-text or by honoring list HTML tags.
For example, the following HTML should nest unordered items:
<ul>
<li>list element</li>
<ul>
<li>nested element</li>
</ul>
</ul>
However, that code yields this:
- list element
- nested element
Using a table does work, however, by specifying the width attribute for a <td&rt; tag (note that the tool doesn't seem to respect width directives in a <col> tag contained within a <colgroup> tag):
For example, specifying:
<table border='0' cols='4'>
<tr>
<td width='5'>•</td>
<td colspan='3'>list item</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td width='5'>•</td>
<td colspan='2'>nested item</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
<td width='5'>•</td>
<td>nested nested item</td>
</tr>
</table>
yields:
| • | list item | ||
| • | nested item | ||
| • | nested nested item | ||
The downside is that the tool changes the appearance of a table with respect to other text, but there you go.
