It's a CSS issue, not a markup issue. If you're using browser
defaults, you're most likely seeing a default `margin-bottom: 1em;`
on <ul>s and <ol>s.
When you have a single list, that margin-bottom is probably expected
and therefore unnoticed; with nested lists it's noticeable, and
perhaps undesirable.
There are lots of ways to fix it, some quite exotic. Here's a
simple one:
ul ul,
ol ol,
ul ol,
ol ul {
margin-bottom: 0;
}
This sets a zero margin for the bottom of any list (excluding
definition lists) contained within another list.
Generally, it's best to zero all whitespace defaults and apply your
own instead. User-agent defaults are unreliable.
