As MDN indicates OL, UL and DL should not be misused to create indentation.
... I think there is 1 exception for the UL element. Where we still use it
as a list, but without the bullet at the beginning. ... Sometimes the
bullet just isn't the right thing to show, so it should be hidden.
I think it's the case, when an indented paragraph is a description of the
parent element. Bullets just don't fit there.
We have a possibility to assign user defined classes to UL. like:
*.testClass level 1
** level 2
Which gives us the following HTML code, where the class is assigned to the
<li> element.
<ul>
<li class="testClass">level 1
<ul>
<li>level 2</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
Which looks a bit strange but is right
<https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/ul#Nesting_a_list>.
What we probably would like to get is
<ul class="testClass">
<li>level 1
<ul>
<li>level 2</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
And define the CSS ul.testClass * { list-style-type: none;}
So a wikitext syntax could look like
*^testClass level 1
** level 2
So the *^ indicator would be only needed once. I personally would go with
*^_ level 1
This would be a new indicator for every element, that allows custom classes
AND where a parent element exists.
- I'm not sure if the parser can handle that.
- I'm not sure if this can be implemented in a consistent way. Especially:
* level 1
**^x level 2
doesn't make sense, since it is the same as
*.x level 1 ... Which is much more readable.
So this would be my proposal for ULs without bullets. ... Which should NOT
be used for indented paragraphs. P-tags should be used there.
have fun!
