Nested lists

    I’m having a terrible time trying to do nested lists – like:

    1. fdasfasdfda
    2. fafasdgagga
    • afdadfafga
    • afagagagad
    • avavasvavba
    • afdagasgaga

      • Even when I cut and paste from an HTML editor, the lists don’t render as they should. Anyone have a solution to this?

      Also, every time the post autosaves, the editor jumps to a new position in the file. Any solution to this problem?

      Thanks for any suggestions. Maybe the whole problem is due to my ignorance of the WordPress editor???

    Try using:

    <ol>
<li>fdasfasdfda</li>
<li>fafasdgagga
<ul>
<li>afdadfafga</li>
<li>afagagagad</li>
</ul></li>
<li>avavasvavba</li>
<li>afdagasgaga</li>
</ol>

    in the HTML tab.

    esmi – thanks for your answer. I guess I should have been clearer…the problem seems to occur when I try to nest two or more unordered lists within a single ordered list.

    <ol>
<li>Ordered list item 1</li>
<li>Ordered list item 2</li>
<ul>
<li>unordered list 1 item 1</li>
<li>Unordered list 1 item 2</li>
</ul>
<li>Ordered list item 3</li>
<li>Ordered list item 4</li>
<ul>
<li>unordered list 2 item 1</li>
<li>Unordered list 2 item 2</li>
</ul>
<li>Ordered list item 5</li>
<li>Ordered list item 6</li>
<ul>
<li>unordered list 3 item 1</li>
<li>Unordered list 3 item 2</li>
</ul>
<li>Ordered list item 7</li>
<li>Ordered list item 8</li>
</ol>

    What happened was that the ordered list started renumbering after the second instance of a nested unordered list.

    Question: In your example code, you left the </li> off the end of the second ordered list item. Was that deliberate – is that what you’re suggesting?

    Notice that esmi has actually included the at the end of the first unordered list:

    </ul></li>
