The HTML generated for the wikitext you've given is actually: <dl><dd>some text<dl><dd>some text<dl><dd>some text</dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl> I'd recommend using the browser "inspect element" menu item to inspect the HTML that TiddlyWiki is generating. > Perhaps a better approach would be to introduce a completely different > form unrelated to the syntax for definition blocks, perhaps making use of a > leading 'minus' to indicate an indent: > One issue is that the DL tag isn't designed for creating indents; HTML5 tries to map semantic meaning to tags. If you want an entirely visual effect such as an indent, that has no semantic meaning, then it should be done by styling a DIV tag. http://css.dzone.com/news/rethinking-dl-dd-and-dt-html5 Best wishes Jeremy > > Some text > - some text > - some text > -- some text > > -- rendered as: > > Some text > some text > some text > some text > > This might also be used in cases such as: > > - THE first line of this paragraph is indented > > regards > -- Jeremy Ruston mailto:[email protected] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
