Yikes! That sounds like a *large* amount of hassle ;-) > That should validate, though you'll probably get a > few gray hairs making it lay up properly.

Hmm, I think I would prefer that the markup is structured more like the layout, to reflect the relationship between the list-item and the para. Applying your approach to my morning example [MORN], and reading in in a non-css user agent would give a totally different text: ----------8<----------- This morning I went through my usual waking up routine: 1) Get out of bed. 2) Clean up in the bathroom. 3) Put on some clothes. 4) Check the post. 5) Eat some breakfast. At this point I was interupted by a stray cat wandering in to my room, sniffing at things, then leaving. Without any reason not to, I carried on my routine... How exciting am I! ----------8<----------- Nice idea though - thanks, Dave.
