No, </li> is optional. W3C's HTML 4.01 specification (section 10.2) says "End tag: optional" for <li>. See <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/lists.html#h-10.2>. W3C's HTML 5 draft specification (section 8.1.2.4) says > A li element's end tag may be omitted if the li element is > immediately followed by another li element or if there is no more > content in the parent element. See <http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-html5-20110525/syntax.html#optional-tags>. Non-li elements (e.g., a p element) are possible within an li element, in which case an </li> end-tag would be very inappropriate before the embedded other element since the li element would not yet be ending. I have trouble picturing a case where an </li> end-tag would be needed. -- David E. Ross <http://www.rossde.com/>.
