I expect many have wrestled with the problems of getting
horizontal lists to line up and be reasonably close to whatever
left box there might be.
For example, you float a pic to the left. You allow a margin for
the float to sit in and the ul begins to the right of this. Much
funny business goes on in trying to control this situation due to
not exactly obvious ways the browsers handle the space for the
list markers - even when they are absent.
What is the question? Let me put it this way; if one were to use
a div with a <p> inside or just one <p> and <br>s to separate the
items, this would have the usual general faults that could get
one excommunicated from this church. But my, how nicely and
predictably this all lines up in the browsers. I need a nice link
to something that specifically addresses the control of this line
up when using the proper tool, lists. Something that shows, if
possible, some research into how to handle these things reliably.
(It is easy enough to control what happens in any given browser
using things like negative margins. But this is not so great when
seen with another browser).
