Nested Tags

Nested tags are tags within other tags. For example, a common way of presenting information is in a list form; a tag begins the list, another tag identifies each list item, and yet another tag ends the list. An example of the tagging for a simple list follows:

:sl.
:li.List item 1
:li.List item 2
:li.List item 3
:esl.

The list-item tag (:li.) is required for each item in the list. The :li. tags are nested between the :sl. tag and the :esl. tag.

Note: After paragraph and heading tags, you will probably use list tags most often. IPF provides general-purpose lists (simple, unordered, and ordered), and special-purpose lists (definition and parameter).
