I'm creating a custom web page to display my SeaMonkey bookmarks my way.

The default indentation is too large causing items to line-wrap.
The presence of bullets serves no purpose and is *UGLY*.

I've been wandering a convoluted path thru the web finding only enough
to tantalize. I keep ending up on poorly designed pages.

Suggestions?

Javascript + CSS to hide/display folder contents
    https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_display_visibility.asp

Allows you to do something like

+ folder 1
+ folder 2
+ folder 3

where clicking on a plus sign shows whatever is in that folder
(and turns the plus to a minus so you can hide the folder contents again)

It looks like my phrasing led you astray.
When saying "folder" I was referring to what you see when selecting
"Bookmarks->Manage Bookmarks".

It might have been cleared if I had said "I have a nested unordered list
which I wish to resemble a directory tree."

A <ul><li>...<li>...</ul> sequence is almost right.
I hate bullets. I need smaller indentations. I suspect CSS is the tool.
Thank you.



ul{
list-style-type: none;
padding: 0;
margin-left: 5;
}

Gets me almost there, but I can't distinguish between "padding" and
"margin".

I think if you don't have a border there's no difference.

That's what I've been looking for!


w3schools is good for basic examples & explanations but they don't go very deep

You are being much to kind.

w3.org sometimes assumes too much background knowledge
I haven't found the happy middle yet :(

The page you gave comes close. There's much that isn't clear. *BUT* I'm left with a relatively well formed question in mind. Lots of links is also good.

Thank you.
