However, many readers find this confusing, as the indentation makes it look more like a continuation of the last sublist item. Also, this technique may give, depending on CSS, a blank line before and after each list, in which case, for uniformity, every first-level list item could be made a separate list although this further complicates the code. For complex lists like this, it is recommended to use the <span class="nowrap">{{</span><a href="/wiki/Template:Ordered_list" title="Template:Ordered list">ordered list</a><span class="nowrap">}}</span> or <span class="nowrap">{{</span><a href="/wiki/Template:Bulleted_list" title="Template:Bulleted list">bulleted list</a><span class="nowrap">}}</span> technique, and to replace instances of the "quick and dirty" wikimarkup version with the <span class="nowrap">{{</span><a href="/wiki/Template:Ordered_list" title="Template:Ordered list">ordered list</a><span class="nowrap">}}</span> version. </p><p>Numbered lists illustrate that what should look like one list may, for the software (and thus for users of screen readers for the visually impaired) actually result in multiple, nested lists. Unnumbered lists give a corresponding result, except that the problem of restarting with 1 is not applicable. </p> <table style="margin-top:0;margin-left:0; border-width:medium; padding:0;"> <tbody><tr> <th scope="col" style="width:50%;">Markup</th> <th scope="col" style="width:50%;">Renders as </th></tr> <tr> <td style="background:#f8f9fa; background:var(--background-color-interactive-subtle, #f8f9fa); color:var(--color-base, #000); border:1px solid #eaecf0; padding:9px 5px 5px; vertical-align:top;"><pre style="margin:0; border:none; padding:0; word-wrap:break-word; white-space:-moz-pre-wrap; white-space:-o-pre-wrap; white-space:-pre-wrap; white-space:pre-wrap; "><div class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-html mw-content-ltr" dir="ltr"><pre><span></span><span class="p"><</span><span class="nt">ol</span><span class="p">></span> <span class="p"><</span><span class="nt">li</span><span class="p">></span>list item A1 <span class="p"><</span><span class="nt">ol</span><span class="p">></span> <span class="p"><</span><span class="nt">li</span><span class="p">></span>list item B1<span class="p"></</span><span class="nt">li</span><span class="p">></span> <span class="p"><</span><span class="nt">li</span><span class="p">></span>list item B2<span class="p"></</span><span class="nt">li</span><span class="p">></span> <span class="p"></</span><span class="nt">ol</span><span class="p">></span>continuing list item A1 <span class="p"></</span><span class="nt">li</span><span class="p">></span> <span class="p"><</span><span class="nt">li</span><span class="p">></span>list item A2<span class="p"></</span><span class="nt">li</span><span class="p">></span> <span class="p"></</span><span class="nt">ol</span><span class="p">></span> </pre></div></pre> </td> <td style="background:#f8f9fa; background:var(--background-color-interactive-subtle, #f8f9fa); color:var(--color-base, #000); border:1px solid #eaecf0; padding:5px; vertical-align:top;"><div style=""> <ol> <li>list item A1 <ol> <li>list item B1</li> <li>list item B2</li> </ol>continuing list item A1 </li> <li>list item A2</li> </ol> </div> </td></tr> <tr> <td style="background:#f8f9fa; background:var(--background-color-interactive-subtle, #f8f9fa); color:var(--color-base, #000); border:1px solid #eaecf0; padding:9px 5px 5px; vertical-align:top;"><pre style="margin:0; border:none; padding:0; word-wrap:break-word; white-space:-moz-pre-wrap; white-space:-o-pre-wrap; white-space:-pre-wrap; white-space:pre-wrap; "><div class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-wikitext mw-content-ltr" dir="ltr"><pre><span></span><span class="p">{{</span><span class="nt">ordered list</span> <span class="p">|</span> list item A1 <span class="p">{{</span><span class="nt">ordered list</span> <span class="p">|</span> list item B1 <span class="p">|</span> list item B2 <span class="p">}}</span> continuing list item A1 <span class="p">|</span> list item A2 <span class="p">}}</span> </pre></div></pre> </td> <td style="background:#f8f9fa; background:var(--background-color-interactive-subtle, #f8f9fa); color:var(--color-base, #000); border:1px solid #eaecf0; padding:5px; vertical-align:top;"><div style=""> <div><ol><li>list item A1 <div><ol><li>list item B1</li><li>list item B2</li></ol></div> continuing list item A1</li><li>list item A2</li></ol></div> </div> </td></tr> <tr> <td style="background:#f8f9fa; background:var(--background-color-interactive-subtle, #f8f9fa); color:var(--color-base, #000); border:1px solid #eaecf0; padding:9px 5px 5px; vertical-align:top;"><pre style="margin:0; border:none; padding:0; word-wrap:break-word; white-space:-moz-pre-wrap; white-space:-o-pre-wrap; white-space:-pre-wrap; white-space:pre-wrap; "><div class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-wikitext mw-content-ltr" dir="ltr"><pre><span></span><span class="k">#</span> list item A1 <span class="k">##</span> list item B1 <span class="k">##</span> list item B2 <span class="k">#:</span> continuing list item A1? <span class="k">#</span> list item A2 </pre></div></pre> </td> <td style="background:#f8f9fa; background:var(--background-color-interactive-subtle, #f8f9fa); color:var(--color-base, #000); border:1px solid #eaecf0; padding:5px; vertical-align:top;"><div style=""> <ol><li>list item A1 <ol><li>list item B1</li> <li>list item B2</li></ol> <dl><dd>continuing list item A1?</dd></dl></li> <li>list item A2</li></ol> </div> </td></tr> <tr> <td style="border-width:1px;border-style: none none none;border-color:#ddd; padding:5px; vertical-align:top;"> </td> <td style="border-width:1px;border-style: none none none;border-color:#ddd; padding:5px; vertical-align:top;"> </td></tr></tbody></table> <p>The last of these is visually confusing and results in invalid markup.
