Learn that a nested list is just an outline of a list with indentations and other lists inside a big list.Advertisement -
Create the first part of the list up to the point where you'd like the indentation nested list to be placed/begin and press ↵ Enter . Don't clear the initial list with a </ol> or </ul> tag yet.- Also, don't denote a separate list item, if it has no label to go along with it.
- Sometimes, looking at the code, you can see that this new list is a nested list.
-
Create the new indented sub-list using the format for the type of list you'd like. Denote the list using either the <ul> or <ol> tag and enter your list items. -
End this inner/indented list type. -
End the full outer list or, if you have further indentations, type these lists too (while not ending the previous lists).- If you need to bring more bullet points outwards a level after you are finished, end the list and type another list item without typing a brand new ordered list or unordered list-tag.
-
Bring the document to a close. Type the ending tag for the ordered tag or unordered tag (in a reverse fashion, from inner-most to outer-most fashion).
