From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.4) Gecko/20010913 BuildID: 2001091303 Text is alined incorrectly. As the "nesting" of lists and items increases, the text should be indented further to the right. All text is left justified in the table of contents. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open the sample URL Actual Results: All items in the top of the page are left aligned Expected Results: Lines should have been indented to various levels, depending on how deeply the list had been nested. <DL> <DT>A line <DL> <DT>Should be indented, but not </DL> </DL> If this source is opened in composer, the following would be seen: <DL> <DT>A line <DL> <DT>Should be indented, but not</DT> </DL> </DT></DL> If the following source is used instead, "correct" behavior is seen: <DL> <DT>A line</DT> <DL> <DT>Should be indented, but not</DT> </DL> </DL>
Confirmed. DT has an optional endtag, so the markup is legal I think. I believe that the parser should be closing the DT when it hits the DL, and it is not. Here is the content mode dump without closing the first DT: body@03792D20 refcount=3< Text@03812940 refcount=3<\n> dl@03812890 refcount=3< dt@038127A0 refcount=3< Text@03812740 refcount=3<A line\n > dl@038126A0 refcount=3< dt@03796730 refcount=3< Text@03795300 refcount=3<Should be indented, but not> > > Text@037951F0 refcount=3<\n> > > And now if the DT is closed: body@03796850 refcount=3< Text@03810720 refcount=3<\n> dl@03814E80 refcount=3< dt@03814D90 refcount=3< Text@03814D30 refcount=3<A line> > dl@03814C90 refcount=3< dt@03814C30 refcount=3< Text@03814BD0 refcount=3<Should be indented, but not> > > > Text@038149E0 refcount=3<\n> Over to parser for a closer look.

Component: Layout → Parser
Ever confirmed: true
Keywords: testcase
Summary: lists [dl] with nested lists and tags [dt] missing closing tags [/dt] formatted incorrectly → </dl> doesn't close <dt>
Marc: It shouldn't be too difficult for me to close out DT on hitting DL but IE doesn't seem to handle that way. Anyway, I'll attach a fix stop DT containing DL.
Severity: trivial → normal
