--- Comment #56 from Phillip Patriakeas <dragonlordofxant...@gmail.com> --- The use cases are exactly the same as the use cases of nesting lists when just using HTML lists: anywhere you would potentially want to nest HTML lists is where you would also potentially want to nest hlists. Consider for example the following list: -Cats --Tabby --Calico -Dogs --Chihuahua --Great Dane -Gerbils -Kangaroos This is a perfectly semantic structure, and flattening the lists into a single list destroys the semantics. If you convert it to an hlist (by adding an hlist div or the like around it), it displays instead as: Cats (Tabby - Calico) - Dogs (Chihuahua - Great Dane) - Gerbils - Kangaroos Again, this is perfectly semantic, and the nesting is still visually communicated, and again, flattening to just one list destroys the semantics. And I can tell you from personal experience, both on and off of Wikipedia/Wikimedia wikis, that it takes almost no imagination at all to find a myriad of applications for such nestings in navboxes. But as Erwin said, I don't see how lists being nested is at all relevant to this bug; the functionality is completely separate from the wrapping functionality, which, as he has stated multiple times, has already been removed from the hlist styles. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
