The change to Bootstrap3 limited the nesting levels of submenus ... only 1
sub-level now, I believe. This was a reflection of the popularity of
portable devices, where a tree of menus runs out of screen space.
I think that the Stupid.css layout allows you to have multiple nesting
levels, and you can look at the new version of the "examples" app for
ideas. (There's also a demo site where Massimo did a little showing-off
with stupid.css:
<URL:http://mdipierro.github.io/stupid.css/themes/random.html>
for some random ideas)
Of course, if you have an existing app, converting to stupid.css may be
messy, but the other choice seems to be to do some custom scripting.
