nav bar in base template and li element

[nabajour]

Hi,

I just started using Nikola and am working on writing a template for my website.

While trying to understand the navigation menu in the basetemplate, I was wondering what this <li> element in the html_navigation_links_entries function in base_headers.tmpl is for.

It looks to me that it's either superfluous or there is a </li> lacking.

Or am I mising something?

Thanks,

nab

<li> elements don't need to be closed. This is perfectly valid: <ul> <li> An item <li> Another item <li> And a third one </ul> The spec says: "An li element's end tag may be omitted if the li element is immediately followed by another li element or if there is no more content in the parent element." In that particular case, it's a list where each element is an item which (in the case of submenus) also contains a list.

Ah, thanks! Didn't know that and it bugged my sense of symmetry :-D
