XHTML valid <ul> etc

  • I’m new to WordPress (although have a good hunt around for the answer to this first) so apologies if I’m missing something blindingly obvious, but…
    How do you insert lists into a post so that they’re correctly marked-up? Whenever I use the

      and

      • tags, they’re nested in tags which isn’t valid XHTML, well, as far as I know.
        I also have a similar problem with


        Is there anyway to turn off the automatic creation of s everywhere? I’m guessing it’s something to do with the Texturizer jazz, but I don’t wanna lose all the funcitonality of that as I like the auto-encoding of proper quotation marks etc…
        Thanks muchly!

    • With the ul it is important not to return or tab down. Put it on the same line. Looks a mess in the edit window but renders perfectly.

      If you are viewing the markup using Firefox’s “View selection source”, be aware that it displays an interpretation rather than the exact source. For example, if you do a
      tag, with “View selection source”, it will display as <br> whatever. That might be your problem, apologies if it’s not.

      I see what you’re saying, and I’d already employed that technique, but the problem is that if you put the opening

        on the same line as the preceding text, then the whole thing is encapsulated by the for that block of text.
        Ideally, I could just turn off the auto-insertion of the (and
        ) tags altogether and leave it up to me!
        (And with reference to the Firefox comment – I wasn’t aware of that, but it was the XHTML validator that first alerted me to the problem. I just tried viewing the source on my Mac under Safari and it’s showing the same code. I wasn’t aware that Firefox did that though!)
