Re: [WSG] Marking up lists with title
Hi Chris, Personally I'd use a header of an appropriate level within the document. So: h1Document Title/h2 pBlah blah blah blah/p h2List Title/h2 ul liIt's big/li etc... /ul Cheers, Iain Chris W.

Re: [WSG] Marking up lists with title
What is the recommended way to mark up a list that has a title?
With better IE support, I might do:
ul title=Features
liIt's big/li
liIt's heavy/li
liIt's wood/li
/ul
...and then style it something like:
ul[title]:before {
display:block;
content:attr(title);
}
But, as it is, I suggest:
div
h1Features:/h1
ul
liIt's big/li
liIt's heavy/li
liIt's wood/li
/ul
/div
Replace h2 with 2,3,4,5,6 as appropriate. The only drawback to this, I
think, is that you are saying the heading is for the section, and the
section contains a list -- not that the heading is for the list.

Re: [WSG] Marking up lists with title
*Huge* fan as I am of definition lists, I fear this may be taking it just that little bit too far. ;) Chris is, after all, marking up a list title. A definition title and its subsequent definition suggests a much tighter and narrow scope than a general title gives. Whoops, here comes the massive and earnest discussion after all...

Yes I see what you're saying. However, since there seems to be no straight answer to this I'm inclined to think that any of the three given options would suffice.
