I came across a problem recently while trying to markup a list within
a paragraph. Here's an example:
- Today I went to the local store and bought; cheese, bread, milk,
eggs and a tin of spam. When I got home I found the eggs were rotten
and the bread was green!
Here we have an inline list within a paragraph, something I would
guess to be quite common.
It would not be appropriate to break out into a block level list
surrounded by two separate paragraphs. Using CSS is also out of the
question because I would then have to embed the list element within
the paragraph. I suppose I could use the b element to set the list
text off from the surrounding text but this doesn't convey the correct
semantic information.
Has a solution for this ever been considered in HTML? If it has been
considered is there anything I can read covering why it wasn't accepted?
Thanks,
